[AMO/TT] Now only Monday sessions at Perth Mod 3:45-5:45pm

From Monday 6 April, all venues will be locked at UWA, so I'm afraid that's finished TT/AMO sessions at UWA.

Perth Modern School is still open on Monday 6 April. So, at the very least, the Monday 6 April session is still running. We had 6 students this week and 3 at UWA. Sessions after next week at Perth Mod will depend on my getting the key again. There is hope for that. So assume they are running unless I email, otherwise. Recall, directions for the Perth Mod room are at:

Directions to AU20 (Mondays)

On Thursday, I experimented with recording a mini i-lecture ... i-pads were difficult to align, but we (my wife and I) seem to have succeeded with her i-phone. I recorded a solution to AMO 2020 Q3 in my test, which runs a little over 14 mins. I have uploaded it to youtube. The link has also been added at the bottom of the Olympiad site where three previous AMO mini i-lectures are listed. I now have some tripods, to make alignment easier for any future ones I do.

So I plan to record more mini i-lectures for

Let me know what you'd like prioritised. If you have a better or otherwise insightful solution… please send it to me in an email, and I'll re-record or record it as an alternative solution.

Particularly, the new students, should keep trying problems from where they are up to in the notes, and send solution attempts as a JPEG or PDF, and I'll send you back my critiques and suggestions for what problems to try next.
