231: Mathematical Methods Conor Houghton Timetable: Monday 3pm Salmon Tuesday 2pm EELT3 Thursday 12 noon Maxwell

This lecture course will mostly deal with differential equations. It is lectured by me, Conor Houghton. It will be very similar to the course I taught last year.

My email address is houghton@maths.tcd.ie and my office is at the top of the maths department, half way between the discussion room and Donal O'Donavan's office. If you want to contact me anonymously, for example to complain about the course, you can use the feedback facility linked from the sidebar. I also intend to give a one line description of each lecture as I go along; again, this is linked from the side bar.

The problems sheets can make up 10% of the final mark and the summer exam the remaining 90%; the summer exam counts for 100% if that is a higher mark. Only every third problem sheet will be marked, it is these that contribute to the final mark.
