Dear PPS students

Welcome to the PPS course! I hope you will find this year good fun as well
as intellectually rewarding. I am the PPS Organiser who is responsible for
the course and I would like to introduce my colleagues who do most of the
work.

The Course Team
---------------
Clare Sansom is our course developer as well as a tutor who will be
running most of our MUD sessions (see below).
