To participate in the exam it is necessary to complete the credit. The exam contains written and oral part; Written part rests on solving a simple problem (max. 30 min). Oral part is partially based on the problem solution (takes ~45min.). Total evaluation summarizes both written and oral part. Exam requirements follow the subject syllabus as presented during lectures.
