This index contains links to lecture notes and other material provided
for the course MX3503: Linear Optimisation and Numerical Analysis.
I suggest that even if you only want to print a few pages, you still
try the pdf (Adobe's Portable Document Format) which can be viewed and
manipulated using Adobe's freely available Acrobat reader, or may well
display directly in your browser. In either case, the whole document,
or selected pages, can then be printed. This is likely to give much
better quality output than printing directly from the web, since the
pdf version is based on the original PostScript rather than the
derived HTML.
Both the Notes and Course Description form are available.
Notes
- The main
reference is the notes
for
the course generated from the same source as the printed notes. They
are also available in pdf
format.
-
Course Description Form
- The Course Description Form is available
in pdf
only.
You may find it more convenient to buy a set of printed notes from the
office of the
Department of Mathematical Sciences
rather than printing out your own copy.
In general, tutorial sheets have (numerical) answers available, often
with the sketch of solution, or even a full solution.

In principle this section contains
copies of all the examination papers that it is technically feasible
to process in this way. Although the main examination papers are
released, we do not release the resit papers.

Solutions, or solution sketches are often included with the questions.
However you should be aware that official solutions are not
made available. Many things can cause the solution to be wrong. One
such is when the question is changed but the answer file is not
updated. In the end you are responsible for ensuring that you
understand the solutions and believe them to be correct. If you have
problems in doing so, please seek help.
