This is often an area of considerable interest to students, and if time permits I tend to discuss more in lessons than is striuctly indicated by the syllabus. The technology is developing rapidly and the syllabus doesn't entirely reflect thewse developments. For this reason no lecture notes are provided in this section as they go beyond the syllabus requirements
