231: Mathematical Methods Conor Houghton Mondays at 3pm, Synge Tuesdays at 10am, MGLT Fridays at 4pm, Synge (Tutorial)

This lecture course will mostly deal with differential equations. It is lectured by me, Conor Houghton. It will be very similar to the course Chris Ford and 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 make up 10% of the final mark and the summer exam the remaining 90%. Only every third problem sheet will be marked, it is these that contribute to the final mark. For technical reasons related to use of an undefined word, potential, in the PS6, this mark will only be included if it improves your average.

To do:

• A note on the infinitessimal pill box.
• Solutions 161718 - draft posted.
• Prepare notes for ODEs 231.III.1 posted, probably three more to go, uses Chris's notes for now.
• Prepare notes for PDEs, draft of 231.IV.1 posted, one more to go.
• Last year's summer exam solutions - exam itself finally posted.
• Add last years schol paper and solutions.
• Add a wiki page - not this year.
• Catch up lecture list - done.
