Week 3 test

There will be 3 or 2 short tests during term with a combined weight of 10% of the total exam mark. It should help you see how you are doing and provide some motivation to keep up to speed with the course material. It will also help me find out how you are doing.


The first test will be thu 29 Oct 9.00-9.30am. I will not be in a position to make arrangements for late arrivals as I will start the lecture at 9.30am, so make sure you come EARLY.


The test will concern (basic) material on invertible circle maps. Preparation should consist of a thorough studying of the relevant notes ([BS] section 7.1 and [HK] sections 4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.3.4, 4.3.5, 4.3.6) with the aim to understand rather then to remember. It will of course also be useful to attempt doing the associated exercises.

Note: I did not finish all of the above material in the lecture concerning proof of the nature of the w-limit set in the irrational case and the construction of the (semi-)conjugacy so these parts will not feature in the test (and I will discuss them in the lecture on wednesday).
