Deadlines

Weeks marked old spec also list slides from the module this one replaced (ENGR217). They are a preview of what is probably coming, not the current syllabus: topics, order and notation may differ, and nothing in them is examinable unless the current slides cover it.

Past papers

old spec 66 papers and answer sheets from ENGR203, ENGR217, ENGR263, ENGR266 (question style and some topics carry over; the syllabus changed)
