Problems:

(Almost) every week a new sheet will be added, and eventually solutions will be given to most of the problems.

NEW: A concise version of solutions to all the eight sheets is available here.

Two of the best homeworks for Q.35 can be found here (Matt Palmer) and here (Steven Charlton), while for Q43+45 there is a solution here and here, and for Q.48+52+53 (plus the extra question) here (Jason Tsang). An impeccable solution to recent homework (Q.64, 67 + 68) is here.

Here is a summary of the course (Michaelmas term only).

Here are four new challenges (from 10/01/10), the last of which has already been given in the lectures.

Each of the following references covers most of the material in the lectures (in rather different form). Examples and motivation are taken from various sources.
