You can enroll for the exam only if you already got credits for the tutorials.
The exam is an oral exam, and it consists of three parts:
1) Proof of a simple theorem. The theorem will be specified at the end of the semester. Typically, you will be asked to prove a theorem that has been formulated during the lecture without a proof. (The proof can be usually found in standard textbooks.) In presenting the proof, you can use your own notes.
2) Presentation of a solution to a problem discussed in a scientific paper. The objective is to show that you know what is the paper about, and what are the used methods and conclusions. The paper will be specified at the end of semester. Typically there will be a list of papers from which you can choose the paper that is most readable/conveninent/interesting for you. In discussing the problem, you can use your own notes!
3) During our conversation we will definitely encounter some notions from the field of continuum mechanics. You will be asked to explain some of the notions. Detailed list of the definitions/theorems and concepts you are expected to know will be specified at the end of the semester.
