Abstract
In a University which was establishing new departments, increasing student numbers and widening the availability of cross-faculty courses and optional studies, the preparation of examination timetables by manual methods was proving a long and arduous tasks which rarely produced a timetable even approaching an ideal solution. During 1965 an attempt was made at Nottingham University to see if a successful answer to the examination timetable problem could be found by using the computer. A practicable program was achieved and has now been operational for two years.Keywords
