8 May consultation session in MI (SR2)

Tomorrow's consultation session is still at 3pm, but we have changed rooms. We will be in SR2 in the MI.

Consultation Sessions

I will be running three consultation sessions for C6.3a:

They will start on Friday at 3pm during weeks 1--3. The first two will last one hour and will take place in my office (DH 2). The one during third week will last from 3pm--5pm and will take place in L1 in the main building. This third consultation session will be a 'revision lecture' to cover the problems and solutions from the June 2008 exam. Note that I lectured this course last year, so I wrote the 4 questions in last year's exam. (The ones from 2007 and before were written by other people.)

Solution Set 7 posted

I have posted the solutions for problem sheet 7. Note the separate document for problem 7.6.

One of them concerns financial networks.
