Analytical Techniques (1730-01)-today's lecture summary

Since it is the first day of classes, there were some students who were late because of
the traffic jam and the first 15 minutes were just for them in addition to some guide lines
that Prof.Harrison was going through.

The professor today started with saying view things regarding the following:

1-The module doesn't include a final test but a weekly assessment starting from week 3 (next week)
and there will be 20 of them every Friday last about 20-30 minutes each.
2-If you understand and listen to what is being said in the lecture you will not probably need
to read from a book so no need to buy one.
3-The Friday sessions will be just for solving examples while Mondays will be lecturing.
4-Mobiles phones are allowed only for in 2 cases:
a-You have children.
b-Your wife, or partner, is pregnant in her 7th month!
5-The two hours will be divided into two lectures with 10 minutes break in between.
6-No need to write in a paper other than the notes papers already given by the instructor
which cover all points in the two lectures.(these notes will be distributed in the
class only and those who miss any lecture will not receive a copy- and hard to get them
from any where else!)
7-The method that you use to solve a question is more important than the final answer.
8-Why this module is called "Analytical Techniques" and not Mathematics, this is a secret!

Then the lecture started !
That is all what I can remember !
