Requirements to the exam -

For the oral part of the exam it is necessary to know the whole content of lecture.

You will get time to write a preparation for the oral part which the knowledge of definitions, theorems and their proofs is tested.

We test as well the understanding to the lecture, you will have to prove an easy theorem which follows from statements from the lecture.
