Lectures

The lectures will be held at 4pm in S9 on Wednesdays and 4pm in S10 on Thursdays.

The lectures are based upon a set of slides kindly supplied by A/Prof Ken Robinson, of the University of New South Wales and available on-line. The text book, The B-Method, by Steve Schneider, is also used to support the lecture content, although be aware that the book describes a slightly earlier notation, the B Method. In this unit, we will be dealing with the Event-B notation.

Each learning module has an index page (accessed by clicking the name of the learning module entries in the on-line table) which gives links not only to the slides used in this learning module, but also related learning materials. Links under "Slides" are to the slides used in lectures, while links under "Notes" are to a form more suitable for printing.

Important Note: The index pages also contain links to other supporting material that will also be used in lectures. Do not make the mistake of thinking that the lecture notes define the examinable material for the unit! Examinable material is all that material covered in lectures and in documents referenced in these pages (such as tutorials and assignments, including the discussions), unless otherwise specified.

A good way of deciding whether learning materials made available in this unit are examinable is to check them against the unit objectives. If they relate to the unit objectives, they are examinable!

Please bear in mind that at the time of writing, not all materials to be used in the lectures have been identified. This page will be updated regularly to reflect past practice, current happenings, and future intentions. Lines in red represent completed activities.
