Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
There will be a written final exam in which students will have to answer questions about the content of the course and solve some problems at the level of the problems treated in the exercise class.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
For a positive grade it is necessary to achieve 50% of the total possible points at the final exam.
Prüfungsstoff
All topics discussed in class and in the exercise sessions will be relevant for the exam. For mastering the subjects of this course, the individual work on the weekly problem sets is very important.
