Metody výuky -
There will be three types of classes: lectures, joint seminars for all students, regular seminars where the students will be divided into three groups and should pick one of the two seminars.
Please see the table at the end of this document for specific dates and times of the lectures and seminars. It is recommended that the students attend all lectures (blue color in the table), all joint seminars (green) and regular seminars (light or dark yellow).
During the semester, there will be a home assignment which should be prepared individually (not in groups) and handed out in electronic form via SIS. The assignment will be similar to numerical exercises presented at the seminars, but will be of higher difficulty.
The home assignment will be released on November 20 and due on November 30.
