Welcome to the page devoted to the third year undergraduate course running in the autumn semester.
I hope you enjoy the course and get a good deal out of it.
The course begins on Fri Sept 24th 2010 and the official lecture timetable is :
 
Lecture: Mon 4.00-4.50  MP C12
Lecture: Fri 2.00-2.50  MP C12

It is important to note that exams begin the day the spring term begins in January 2011.
Unlike previous years there will be no time for revision lectures, so make sure you revise over the Christmas vacation.

 
My course document as a pdf file.

 

A couple of years ago I typed up all the lecture notes, so in the hope that it helps you I will include them here from the beginning. I do intend to modify them as we go through the course and I will make sure I tell you which ones are being modified. The modified versions will then appear on the web
