Assignment-2 : now available

Posted by Ashesh Mahidadia Sunday 18 July 2021, 10:51:09 AM.

Assignment 2 is now available. The assignment is inspired by the interesting incident related to the Millennium Bridge in London, England. During the Tuesday lecture, we will discuss the specification and importantly how to get started, so read the specification prior to the lecture. Please don't get intimidated by the specification! :-) The total number of lines you need to write in numpy for this assignment is around only 30 lines (across all four files you need to submit)! However, you need to focus on understanding the problem first and properly use numpy to express your solution. We will discuss these and other important points during the Tuesday lecture.

Live Coding Sessions 4-5pm on Wednesdays

Posted by Adam Halmy Tuesday 01 June 2021, 09:36:25 PM.

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder regarding the Live Coding Sessions mentioned in the lecture today. These will be held on Blackboard Collaborate (online) on Wednesdays from 4-5pm. They are currently scheduled for Week 1, 2 and 4 and may continue for the rest of the term if they are enjoyed.

These aren't compulsory, but will be highly useful to attend to learn how to approach coding questions. They'll be interactive and I'll often ask for suggestions and feedback on the code we write. They will also be recorded for students unable to attend or to watch at a later date. If you've got questions about these sessions or any relevant ideas/concepts you'd like me to cover, feel free to ask on the forum.

See you there!
