Practical details

Lectures and exercises classes will take place from week 44 till week 50. The first meeting will be the lecture on Monday 31 October. Week 51 is exam week and the exam will take place on December 19, 14:00-17:00 in SP F1.02.

There will be two lectures per week and these will take place on Mondays 13:00-15:00 in SP G5.29 and Thursdays 9:00-11:00 in SP D1.116.

In addition, there will be two exercises classes per week, one on Tuesday 15:00-17:00 in SP G3.10 and one on Thursday 11:00-13:00 in SP D.116. These exercise classes are an integral part of the course. On Tuesdays one works on an exercise sheet under the guidance of the teaching assistant (these sheets will appear here). In addition, there will be five homework sheets which influence your final grade for the course (more information about the homework can be found here). The exercise classes on Thursdays will be devoted to handing back and discussing the homework.

The weekly schedule is as follows: However, in the first week there will no be no exercise class on Tuesday (1 November) and in the second week we will probably use the Thursday exercise class on 10 November for continuing the lecture.
