Lectures

The lecture timetable for this course is given below. There will be 2 lectures each week for a total of 12 weeks (corresponding to University week numbers 30-37 and 41-44); for simplicity I will refer to weeks 1-12.

Day	Time	Place
Tue	11 am	New King's 1
Fri	10 am	St. Mary's G3

You are expected to attend all lectures, practicals, and tutorials, and attendance records will be kept. If you do not attend regularly, you risk having your Class Certificate withheld.

Lecture notes will become available on the table below, usually at least one day before the corresponding lecture.

Lecture notes are provided as PowerPoint files (.ppt). If you want to print them, consider printing as "handouts" with 3 or 6 slides per page, to save paper (and the environment!) – check out for instructions on how to do this here.

I reserve the right to revise the slides in the light of what has happened during the lecture (e.g. if I discover any errors or don't get as far as I thought). A label "ok" will appear next to the slides when they are ready to be printed.

Links to solutions to workshops and sample programs are given.
