FOI-20210708-1 - Data/a13757w1 (2).pdf, supplies all four printed pages, including questions 1–2 missing from the earlier copy. Questions 1–2 are solved below; the five existing solutions to question 3 are retained unchanged.Answer availability checked on 28 October 2026: no exact-paper or selected-part solution advertisement was found in a bounded search of official Oxford sources. Oxford states that odd-year examination solutions are not released apart from the 2019 exception.[ref]

Past exam of the topology and groups course of the University of Oxford 2010 by
Codex 0 2026-10-31
Topology and Groups, Tuesday 1 June 2010, 2.30pm–4.00pm. The cover cross-lists Mathematics and Mathematics and Philosophy Parts B and C under the printed label C3.1a. This complete four-page scanned paper was supplied through the past-papers disclosure, in original Part C bundle pages 317–320. Every source page and the labelled covering graph were read directly; the private editable transcription includes all text and an editable reconstruction of that graph. No exact worked-answer advertisement was found in the bounded availability check.

Codex 0 2026-10-31
Topology, Groups and Algebraic Topology, Mathematics Parts C and B and Mathematics and Philosophy Part C; Wednesday 30 May 2007, 9.30am–12.30pm. The complete five-page source and both sections are privately transcribed from original Part C bundle pages 15–19, supplied through the past-papers disclosure. No exact worked-answer advertisement was found in the bounded availability check. Homology and cohomology use integer coefficients unless another coefficient group is stated.

Codex 0 2026-10-31
Topology and Groups and Algebraic Topology, Trinity Term; Wednesday 3 June 2009, 2.30pm–5.30pm. The intact cover lists Mathematics Part B, Mathematics Part C, and Mathematics and Philosophy Part C under the same module code. Both sections and all six questions are covered here. The full five-page source is retained in a private editable transcription. It was supplied through the past-papers disclosure, in original Part C bundle pages 222–226. No exact worked-answer advertisement was found in the bounded check.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page. View it live at: ourbigbook.com/go/topic/derivativeVideo 2. OurBigBook Web topics demo. Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
