In Semester 2 2016, the MLC ran a revision seminar on improper integrals for Maths IA. David discussed what they are, and did several examples showing how to decide what to do. To watch the video or download the notes, follow the links below:

In Summer Semester 2017, the MLC ran another revision seminar on improper integrals for Maths IA, basically to go through some more difficult examples than in the previous seminar. To watch the video or download the notes, follow the links below:

This seminar for Probability & Statistics II students in semester 1 2016, wasÌýon bivariate distributions, specifically focussing on the decisions that need to be made in order to choose limits for integrals. David did three examples including finding the integral of the whole distribution, finding a probability, and finding a marginal distribution.

This seminar for students in Maths IB in Summer Semester 2019 gave an intro into what Taylor series and Taylor polynomials are, then gave several examples of finding them (and working with the error formula, which I don't think is in Math foundations for Biostats).

This seminar in Semester 2Ìý2017 ended with a section which showed an overview of infinite series and Taylor series (starting at 1h21m).
