This lecture takes place twice a week (on average 3 h of lecture and 1 h tutorial) in the following slots:

Time Location Schedule
Oct. Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb.
Tuesday 12:00 - 13:30 V 38.01 13., 20., 27. 3., 10., 17., 24. 1., 8.*, 15., 22. 12., 19., 26. 2.*

* MC-Test     ** Question Session

Note the slightly shifted slots to accomodate students that need to be flown in from Hohenheim.

The first lecture will be on Oct. 13th, 2015 at 11:55!

There will be a written exam at the end of the semester (unless your Prüfungsordnung does not allow that; in that case, there will be an oral exam). Prerequisite for participation in the exam is a ‘Schein’, i.e. you need to pass two (out of three) MC-tests.

Exercises/Tutorials

Filip Krumpe

The final dates of the tutorials are announced during lecture at least one week before the tutorial takes place. For each tutorial there will be an exercise sheet. Please take a look at the sheet before the tutorial and solve the problems on your own.

We will discuss the problems during the tutorial.
