Sheet 7 in ps or pdf format. Note that there was a typo in Q4. It should read 3x+2y+z=6, as it does now.
Assignment 3 in ps or pdf format, which is due on Monday, 19 October 2012, not the 14th which was stated on the printed sheets. Also note that there was a typo on the printed sheet in Q3, where it should have been D={(x,y) | 0≤ x ≤ 2, 0≤ y &le x}, and in Q1(a), where it should have been f(x,y)=x √ 1+4y ³ . All these errors are corrected in the online version of the sheet.
