Solution to practice exam
It was pointed out that there were typos in the practice exam, exercise 12 (Discrete Fourrier Transform). I have uploaded a new version of the exercise+solution.

This week's assignment due on Friday; practice questions; syllabus
You can hand in the assignment on Friday by 6pm rather than Thursday.I've uploaded some sample questions from last year. We'll be adding more over the next few days.
The exam will cover everything from (and including) the Fourier transform, up to and including Friday's lecture on graph theory. For linear programming, we did not cover everything in the notes: the relevant sections are 1, 2.1-2.2, 4.1-4.2, and 7. And of course the separate notes on maximum flows.

Slight simplification in Assignment 8 Choice A
A few of you complained (rightly) that the numbers that arise in the questions of choice A are a bit messy.
I agree, so I changed slightly the graph so that the numbers become nicer. The new version is uploaded (2 arrows have changed).
If you have done your calculation with the old graph, that's fine and you can keep your solutions. Otherwise, just work with the new version.
Best,
Olivier
