A solution sketch for Assignment 2 has now been posted . You will need to log into WebCMS3 in order to access it.

Assignment 3

I expect to release a solution sketch for assignment 2 on Friday, so that students who had trouble solving assignment 2 are not disadvantaged too much for assignment 3.

Mid-session quiz

Posted by Serge Gaspers Wednesday 22 August 2018, 01:49:37 PM.

The trial mid-session quiz has been released .
Our mid-session quiz will start at 12:05PM next Tuesday in room BUS 232, and it will last 90 minutes.
It is open-book but no electronics are allowed, except for a UNSW approved calculator (which you will not need). In particular, feel free to bring printed lecture notes, your solutions to exercises and assignments, and your answers to the trial mid-session quiz. Books are also allowed.
The mid-session quiz will have the same format as the trial mid-session quiz, but some questions will be different.
