The General Board, on the recommendation of the Faculty Board of Mathematics, has approved amendments to the regulations for the Mathematical Tripos so as to amend the date and the form by which students are required to submit the titles of the papers they intend to offer for examination from the second Friday of Full Easter Term to 12 noon on the second Thursday. The date that students are required to submit their essays will be amended from and to the same dates.

Each essay shall state the sources consulted; it shall be prefaced by a declaration signed by the candidate that it represents the candidate’s own work unaided except as may be specified in the declaration, and that it does not contain material that the candidate has already used to any substantial extent for a comparable purpose. The Examiners shall have power, at their discretion, to examine a candidate viva voce on the subject of her or his essay.
The Faculty Board of Mathematics is satisfied that no candidate’s preparation for the examination will be adversely affected.
The Notice published on 3 October 2018 (Reporter, 6520, 2018–19, p. 27) incorrectly stated that the limit on the length of the report of a research project will be of not more than 30 pages, 'excluding figures, tables, captions, references, and appendices'. This should have read: 'including figures, tables, captions, references, and appendices'.
