There will also be problem sets that form the basis of the regularly scheduled tutorials. The problems sets will not be graded, but serve to prepare students for the graded components of the course (the term tests and the final exam).

Allocations into tutorial sections will take place early in the semester, times and locations to be announced. Texts
