Announcements

Theo Vo will give the lectures in Week 12 as Mary Myerscough will be away.

Week 13 lectures will be revision lectures, where the 2011 exam solutions are presented.

I will arrange consultation times in Stuvac and the first week of exams.

Assignment 2 is now available. It is due on Thursday 24 May.

The quiz has now been markedand returned in Friday's lecture. If you have not received your quiz back, please come and see me in my office. There were six versions of the quiz. The version number is written in red on the top of each returned script. Solutions for each version are available: version 1, version 2, version 3, version 4, version 5, and version 6.

Because there are several education students in the class who cannot attend Tuesday lectures for the rest of the semester, I will post the notes from Tuesday after that lecture each week. At the end of the week, I will replace this with the entire week's notes.

Assignment 1 has been returned and solutions are available. If you have not got your assignment back, please come and collect it from my office. A number of people collected assignments for their friends, so please check this before you come and see me.
