Exercises

There will be weekly exercise sets. Completing these successfully, reaching at least 50% of possible points, is necessary for admittance to the examination.

The exercise sheets will be released on Mondays and have to be handed in before the exercise class on Monday one week later. Alternatively the exercise sheets can be put in the exercise box of the chair, building E1, first floor, before 14:00am.

Groups of up to three students are allowed in fact, encouraged to work together and hand in the solutions together.

The solutions of the exercises will be presented on Monday, 2:15pm - 3:45pm in 2356|111 (AH II).
