Lecture Notes, Tutorial Sheets and Handouts
Any errors in the lecture notes and tutorial sheets (should!) have been corrected in these online versions.Lecture notes are available in two formats:
- PDF: Portable Document Format. These notes should be viewable anywhere and printable on most printers.
- PDF-2: refers to `two up' PDF -- ie the format of the lecture handouts.

Lecture and tutorial times
- Lectures are on Mondays and Thursdays 11:10-12:00 in JCMB Lecture Theatre A. The first lecture is on Monday, January 13, 2014.
- Tutorial workshops will be held on Mondays and Thursdays 2-4pm in the Teaching Studio, JCMB Room 3217. The first tutorial workshop will be on Monday, January 20, 2014.
- Problem solving is an integral part of the course and you are expected to attend one Vector Calculus tutorial workshop every week for the entire two hours, and to work through the problems on the tutorial sheets. A number of postgraduate students will act as course tutors.
