Past Module Webpages

This module is taught in alternate years. Previously it was always the first module of a year long sequence with 3422 in the second semester. This year it is a single module with a mix of content from the old 3421 and 3422. It was last taught by Prof. Richard Timoney in 2016. I last taught it in 2012. The latter is probably closer to the current version, but there will be a number of changes due to the disappearance of 3422.
