the participants of both exams can look at their exams.
The 1st written exam is here,
Exam 21.12.2016.
Its official solutions are here,
Exam 21.12.2016 with solutions.
The 2nd written exam will not be published.
Exercises:
Each week (except the last week), starting on 05.09.2016, there will
be a sheet of exercises.
All participants are advised to work out the exercises.
They are integral part of the course.
They complement the lectures by giving
examples, and they give the chance to work
yourself through typical arguments.
There will be 13 sheets altogether. Each will be worth 16 points.
Up to two people can submit solutions together,
at the beginning of the Monday lecture one week later.
On the following Friday,
in the exercise session official solutions will be discussed.
The students' solutions will be graded until then
and given back in this exercise session.
In order to be allowed to take part in the exam,
one has to reach 12 times 8 = 96 points in the exercises.
