What are endomeriosis and adenomyosis and what treatments are available?

This was the literature review for my honours project in Computer Science at Monash University in 2003.

This was written as an assessment in the Epistemology of Computer Simulation, an honours subject in the school of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. I had published it on my student and staff websites, but it has been languishing in backups since I left Monash.

This analysis was part of the assessment for CSE454 Learning and Prediction 1, a subject in Computer Science honours at Monash University, Clayton, Australia. I completed this subject with high marks, but sadly didn't complete the project component, and thus only graduated with a Bachelor degree. But, this paper/assignment submission was too much fun not to share.
