Mathematics for Information Processing 2000 (MIP)

Announcements

• 13/12/00 Revision Class: as announced in lectures, there will be a revision class at the start of next term, just before I depart for foreign climes.
  It will be at 10.15am on Friday 5th January (2001) in CS/103. I will answer any questions about past papers, queries on the notes etc etc. I will not be giving any hints on what may or may not be in the exam paper.
• 13/12/00 Past exam papers: you are reminded that past exam papers can be found here, which is linked from the module web page. I will not make available model answers to these past papers, but I will undertake to mark any solutions which are given to me. There are various ways you can give your solutions to me:
  • in my pigeonhole, in the Department
  • by fax, to 01904 432767, clearly marked for my attention
  • by email, to king@cs.york.ac.uk. Be careful to make clear how you are representing the maths symbols, if necessary
  • by ordinary post, to me at the Department, though this will be subject to Christmas post delays.
  If you want me to return the marked versions to you in any way other than via your Departmental pigeonhole, please make that clear. Also, note that the Department is closed from midday on December 22nd until the morning of Jan 2nd. I will not be reading my email during that period.
