Undergraduate SupervisionsIntroductionSupervisions are the means by which small-scale undergraduate teaching takes place in the University of Cambridge. Elsewhere such teaching is sometimes referred to as tutorials. In mathematics, the typical supervision consists of a supervisor - normally a College or University lecturer, a research worker in one of the University departments (not always the mathematics departments), or a research student - going over mathematical problems with a pair of students. A Guide for SupervisorsThe Faculty of Mathematics publishes a Guide for Supervisors.

foreground was brought from Newton's home and is reputed to be a
descendant of the tree which inspired the Laws of Gravitation).
