You may want to consult Previous years' pages for additional material. I will be making some adjustments to the course based on feedback last year, but for anyone who wants to read ahead, last year's page is a pretty good guide. This year's version of each tutorial sheet will appear here at least one week before the tutorial it relates to. Lecture slides, readings and videos (as applicable - we won't have all of those every week) will appear no later than Friday noon of the week before.
