MA934 is five weeks long and runs from week 1 to week 5 (inclusive) of the Autumn term.

The information below is specific to the 2020/2021 academic year.

Lectures
Mondays 1000 - 1200 via MS Teams
Tuesdays 1000 - 1200 via MS Teams in weeks 1 and 2, then from week 3 face-to-face in D1.07 (Complexity Seminar Room, Zeeman Building). This is assuming that local and national restrictions allow for face-to-face interaction.

Classes
Mondays 1300 - 1500 via MS Teams
Tuesdays 1300 - 1500 via MS Teams in weeks 1 and 2, then from week 3 face-to-face in D1.07 (Complexity Seminar Room, Zeeman Building). This is assuming that local and national restrictions allow for face-to-face interaction.

See the D1.07 calendar for updated information on classes.
