Tutorial and Exercises

In addition to the lectures there will be a weekly tutorial. In the tutorial, we will occasionally review topics from the lectures but mostly discuss examples and solve exercises. Each week every student is asked to solve a set of three or four exercises that will appear on this website in form of an exercise sheet. The exercise sheets will be uploaded on Wednesdays and solutions should be turned in before the second lecture in the following week. Please bring them with you to the lecture on Wednesday and hand them to Professor Ziegler by 10.:15 AM. You will receive points for solving each exercise based on whether your solution is correct and well-written.

Course requirements are the following: (1) You must score at least 60% of the sum of the maximum number of points on all exercises. In other words, it is ok to score less than 60% on an exercise sheet as long as you reach 60% of the total points by the end of the semester. (2) You must pass an exam at the end of the semester. Details about the nature of the exam will be discussed as we go along.
