Lecture notes

Homework problems
You must submit your homework assignments before the deadline, preferably by emailing it to me, but you are welcome to submit a physical copy after a lectureWhere possible, please submit your assignment as a single PDF file, with your name in the filename, e.g. adam_keilthy_GTHW1.pdf or similar. Please also ensure that your name is visible on the first page of the assignment.
I encourage you to typeset your work in LaTeX. Doing so will increase your mark by 10% (but it will still be capped at 100/100). A rough template that does not reflect best practice or prettiest practice can be found here.
The solutions will be made available immediately after the deadline, so late submissions cannot be accepted
