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 three seminars.
Please see the table at the end of the document Syllabus 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, dark or very dark yellow).
During the semester, there will be two home assignments which should be prepared individually (not in groups) and handed out in electronic form via SIS. The assignments will be similar to numerical exercises presented at the seminars, but will be of higher difficulty.
The home assignments will be released and due on the following dates:
HA1: released on October 20, submission deadline on October 30.
HA2: released on December 1, submission deadline on December 11.
