• This is mid-semester exam week. Exams will be held at St Lucia on Saturday morning, starting at 10am sharp. Exams will be held at Ipswich on Friday morning, again at 10am sharp. Make sure you arrive a bit early, in case of traffic problems or other unexpected issues.
• Exam runs for 1.5 hours (so ninety minutes). In addition, there will be 10 minutes perusal at the start, during which time you can read the questions and write on a sheet of blank paper which we will give you, but you may not write on the exam paper.
• You will not be permitted to bring any paper or books into the exam: apart from pens, a ruler and (possibly) a calculator, don't bring anything along.
• Any calculators are OK, except those with multiple lines of display, or which can draw graphs.
• You can write in pencil if you like.
• Exam is worth 30 percent, if it helps you. (So if you muck it up, we simply won't count it towards ytour final assessment).
• Rooms at St Lucia will be either 42-216, 42-312 or 67-208. You will be divided according to alphabetical order of your surname: we'll advise you in class to which room you should go. But if you get confused, go to 42-216.
• At Ipswich, rooms used will be building 2, Rooms 1.04, 1.05 and 1.06. They are all next to each other, so we'll split you on the day.
• If you are a St Lucia student and genuinely cannot come to the exam on saturday, then you can come to the Ipswich session on Friday. However, you must come and see me beforehand (on or before thursday) to make arrangements.
• If you are sick or have a terrible and unavoidable problem which arises on saturday, then do not kill yourself to get to the exam. Come and see me on monday or tuesday next week.
• There are three lectures at St Lucia this week, but there will be only two lectures at Ipswich this week (as the exam is held during the third lecture slot). Thus the two groups will be slightly out of synchronisation for the next two weeks. Ipswich people will catch up in the week after easter.

• An additional tutorial will be held at Ipswich this week on Wednesday at 2pm, in the usual lecture room. We will cover any questions about the exam.
• Make sure you have worked through the sample exam and understood the solutions!
• Tutorials WILL be held this week, and assignment 7 is due in by friday afternoon

• the additional contact hour WILL be held this week.
• This week, we'll work through all of Section 8 of the notes, and probably start on Section 9.
• tute on Tuesday 12-1 (previously in rooms 69-207 and 5-213) has moved to 67-208 (large room on ground floor of maths building).

• tute on Wednesday 11-12 (previously room 9-816) has moved to 7-G77 (one of the large lecture theatres in Physics building).

• tute on Wednesday 1-2 (previously room 1-E210) has moved to 67-111 (level 1 of the mathematics building).

• if you want to attend at Ipswich: {\bf all classes} on Wednesday and Friday will be held in building 6202 room 1.05, at Ipswich.

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. p> Postscript copy of assignment/tutorial sheet 8
