Hi everyone,
Don't forget that you can add questions, comments and communicate with other students in this discussion forum. Long questions/answers should appear here rather than in the main text on the wiki page. Once you reach a consensus, feel free to add an edited, simplified summary to the wiki for the week. Taking a little time each week to contribute will greatly help with exam preparation next summer.
Further to Tuesday's 11.00-12.00 seminar, I have added references to the additional reading mentioned in our discussions. You can also find these sources on the reading list, as they will appear again throughout the course.
