  • Mid-semester Quiz advice:
    • No doubt you will be interested to see the 2007 mid-semester quiz. We are covering the material in a different order this year, and we have made some other changes (particularly to the presentation of natural deduction), so the 2007 quiz is only a guide. Parts of past final exam papers may also be useful revision.
    • The material on Natural Deduction, Types, Recursion and Structural Induction, Hoare Logic and Weakest Preconditions is examinable in the quiz. That is, all topics covered in the first fifteen lectures.
    • You are permitted to take in one A4 page with hand-written notes on both sides. Our usual practice is to include in the exam paper appendices giving the rules of natural deduction, Hoare logic, and weakest precondition calculus, so there is no need for you to include them in your page of notes.
  • Assignment 2 is now available. It is due at 10am on Monday 15th September, 2008.
