Oral exam. Before coming to exam, student must solve theoretical excercise which will be given to all students in the middle of semester. Oral exam consists of two questions. First question is to explain in detail the theoretical background of the solution of the excercise. The second question will be selected from the topics covered by sylabus of the lecture.
