The exercise classes will take place roughly every other week, starting in Week 3 (i.e. on Friday, 7 March).

The list of dates of tutorials is the following:

07.03, 21.03, 04.04, 09.05, 16.05, 30.05.

Note: on the place/time slot of the TA class, exceptionally on 02.05 (Friday May 2nd) there will be a class (to replace one of the two classes missed because of holidays).

Exercises:

The file that will be posted above (not yet!) is a Problem Sheet which contains a list of problems assigned, which will be discussed in the Exercise session; the file will be updated as the course goes on, so come back to download it at regular intervals for new problems.

Skript

A Skript of the lectures will be made available here (sections added periodically). To download the pdfs, you need to log in to your My first (e.g. using the button here above), then you should be able to see the links to the pdf files here below. Registered students have also received a link to a shared folder, which will be updated more frequently.
