Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Exercises and examples will be used to deepen the understanding of the material covered in the lectures on algebraic number theory. The aim is to transform students' understanding of basic principles into working knowledge. To this end we will discuss solutions of exercises prepared by the students. For more information go to http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~baxa/ws2223.html

Assessment and permitted materials

Each week participants announce beforehand for which exercises they are able to present solutions. Over the course of the semester two of these solutions have to be presented. The previously prepared solution can be used as an aid during the presentation.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Minimum requirements for passing are: solving at least 60% of the exercises, the correct presentation of at least two solutions, and regular participation in the discussions. The grade of students who pass is determined in equal parts by the number of exercises solved and the quality of the presentations of these solutions.

Examination topics

The exercises will be available at http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~baxa/bspeWS2223.pdf
