Firefox is now working again (on my machine, anyway).

Lecture Notes

• Group theory background - the content of this 'Appendix' will be assumed (it was all covered in MATH20101)
• Chapter 1 - on group actions and their properties
• Chapter 2 - on Euclidean symmetry
• Chapter 3 - on wallpaper patterns new version 13/03/2020 (very minor changes)
• Chapter 4 - on the symmetry principle new version 18/03/2020 (typo corrected)
• Chapter 5 - Symmetry in ODEs
• Chapter 6 - Symmetry in periodic motion

Problem sheets & their solutions

The problems appear at the end of each Chapter in the notes above and are repeated in the files below. Solutions to most of the problems will appear here in due course ...

• Solutions to problems in the Appendix (version of 20/02/2020 - as you can see, some of the solutions are still not written - it will slowly be completed)
• Introductory problems - for the first lecture/tutorial

• Problems from Chapter 1

• Problems from Chapter 2

• Problems from Chapter 3

• Problems from Chapter 4

• Problems from Chapter 5

• Problems from Chapter 6

Any comments/suggestions/corrections for the solutions are very welcome.

Coursework

The take-home coursework is now available. The deadline is 4 pm on Mon 16th March (Week 8), unless you have an extension prearranged in which case it is Mon 23rd March (Week 9).

The marks for the coursework are now available to you (on your Uni system). Here is some general feedback on how you all did which I hope will be useful.

Exams

• the exam from 2016-17, and some Feedback for that exam.
• the exam from 2017-18, and some Feedback for that exam (note this was taken in Semester 1, hence the change in course code).
• the exam from 2018-19, and some Feedback for that exam.

Like last year, the rubric this year says, Answer all FIVE questions. In particular this means that there is no choice in the questions.
