Examination

There will be six sets of problems to be handed in, each worth 100 points. The total amount of points obtained out of 600 will determine the final grade according to the following scale (A: 80%, B: 70%, C: 60%, F (fail): below 60%).

Handouts

Small dictionary of useful terminology (English-Japanese)
