Practical Sessions

The solution to the problem sets will be presented in the practical sessions. We urge you to (at least try to) solve the problem sets before the corresponding practical session takes place. It is only in this way that you will be properly prepared for the exam.

Course Materials

Course materials can be accessed in Ilias. Log on with your university account and click through all the folders. Download all documents to your personal computer as you might not always have access to the internet.

We plan to post two lecture videos (2x 2h) at the beginning of each week plus one video per practical session (1x 2h) at the end of the week for which the respective problem set is scheduled. In weeks without problem sets, there will be three lecture videos (3x 2h). This course does not proceed live. You can watch the videos anytime.

If you have questions, please send them by email or post them to the forum in Ilias.
