• As always, there are three lectures this week

• no tutorials this week; hence no assignment due in this week

• you need to sign-on to a tutorial this week; for St Lucia students, the forms are on level 5 of the mathematics building, opposite room 5.24. Don't sign-on until after the first lecture. Ipswich students will be advised what to do in the first lecture.

• the additional contact hour will not be held this week

• Lecture 1 involves general information, and a quick revision test

• Lectures 2 and 3 involve a very quick review of number systems, basic arihmetic, fractions, exponentiation, number lines, and the like. Fairly easy stuff, but you might have forgotten it!

• useful reading: the first few chapters of the text PPW (Petocz, Petocz and Wood). Reading is not very important this week: we do not match the book very closely just at this stage

Copies of various handouts are available here. Because they include lots of mathematics, they are in a postscript (.ps) format. To be able to display them or print them, you will need a program which can understand postscript. See the bottom of this document for one, for PCs running Windows 95/98.
