Anyone want Applied Maths notes from the Institute?

    Yea, so I did my Leaving Cert in June and I've been clearing away all my notes and books and crap and basically I've got a whole folder full of Applied Maths notes from the Institute of Education that I just can't bear to throw away! I don't know anyone who's doing Applied Maths at the moment so I was wondering if anyone on here might want them? I could arrange posting them to you. The notes are pretty comprehensive and cover six topics I think which I can't remember exactly right now but I'll find out if anyone's interested :D

    Hi, I'm just going into 6th year. Are the notes still available?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,251 ✭✭✭The Walsho


    I've just finished 6th year myself but know someone who might need these.

    Good chance this thread is going to get deleted btw, I believe those notes are copyrighted or something.

    Hmm.



    I do think those notes are copyrighted, and seeing as people going to the institute pay an arm and a leg to get them the institute mightn't be too happy about someone giving them out for free, so to be on the same side I'll have to lock this...sorry!

    Ok a quick discussion with the mods cocluded that giving them out for free is not breach of copyright, so knock yourself out.

    I'd love notes! Please! I really need the points!

    Edit: And my teacher is out on maternity leave in a few weeks. Really not good!

    I can't see how it would be in breach of copyright even if the notes were being sold for money. It's just like selling old second-hand textbooks. What would be illegal would be making your own copies of the notes and then selling those copies.

    Ok well the notes have been given away now guys, sorry!

    I didn't really think about the whole copyright thing since I wasn't going selling them. I just didn't like seeing them go to waste :P

    Well when I consulted the mods a lot of people said the institute do not take kindly to people selling on their notes. Better to be safe than sorry and all that.

    If anyone would like to swing me a copy for a weekend to photocopy it would be most appreciated.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 396 ✭✭DanOB


    thats illegal dude


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,004 ✭✭✭ironclaw


    €750 for a course.. Who's robbing who? :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 396 ✭✭DanOB


    works out more like a grand for the year per course

    which, in my opinion, is great value considering the quality of teachers, notes and facilities


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,851 ✭✭✭PurpleFistMixer


    Do you work for the institute or something, to be dragging up old threads just to make unhelpful posts?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 396 ✭✭DanOB


    it appeared at the bottom of the page i was on, similar threads, i was hardly dragging up old threads


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,004 ✭✭✭ironclaw


    Great value? A year there costs €6500 ish.

    And I've seen some of the results they don't publish in there brochures... One mate of mine went there got... 45 points.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 396 ✭✭DanOB


    They supply you with the best teachers, best facilities, best notes.

    Its up to you to use them, your mate must have had other things on his mind


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭Stompbox


    If anyone has notes,I'd greatly appreciate it too! Cheers

    Just out of curiosity, do you have reliable and comprehensive quantitative evidence to support that assertion?

    Anyway, irrespective of how good or bad the teachers and/or the notes are, I agree with your assertion that distributing them onwards without permission of the copyright owner is a breach of copyright. The act makes no distinction between whether it's for free or not. (Copyright and Related Rights Act, 2000: http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2000/en/act/pub/0028/). Copying it is very obviously a breach, but even passing on the copy you got to someone else is a breach, unless the copyright owner has authorised you to do so: see section 40(1)(g) of the act.

    Point taken :) I just want a different perspective. Education is the freedom and progression of knowledge. I'd gladly pay for them, but not €750.

    The mods are discussing this and since the poster with the problem has already made a Help Desk complaint, I'm going to close the relevant threads to stop continue discussion until a solution is come to.
