Comments on questions posed during lectures will be located here .
Lectopia recordings for this unit are available here.
Each Wednesday (except PROSH day) from 3-6 pm there is a lab session in the Mathematics Computer Lab. There are 11 assignments in total, and these will be made progressively available here.
Assignment solutions will be made progressively available here.
