Lectures

Assignments

You will have 1 assignment about arithmetic. However, it will be substantial. You will do them out in groups (up to 4 people) and present your work in class, followed by an open discussion.
The presentations will be on Monday Jan 29 and (if necessary) on Wednsday Feb 1.

Assignments about graph theory will be common with section 1.

Exercises

Besides the assignment, you need to do a number of exercises. Those will not be graded. They are however an integrant part of the course and it is in your very interest to have a go at them!! The exercises include filling in details in bits of material covered in class and the recommended exercises in Rankin & Robinson (your course book).
