List of students admitted to the exam
The exam scheet consists of 5 problems of 25 points each. For a full mark (Note 1,0) it is necessary to score 95-100 points (equivalent of 4 solved problems), for a pass mark (Note 4,0 - bestanden) it is necessary to score 45-50 points (equivalent of 2 solved problems).
The exam problems may contain all the topics from lectures and homework exercises, except for topics/exercises marked by *.
Lecture notes (final version)
The
problems that are marked by * are additional. They do bring points to those who
solve them but they do not contribute to the maximal possible number of points.
Deadline for submission of homeworks is always Friday.
Joint submission of homework by groups of students is not allowed.
At least 50% of points for homework is required for admission to the exam.
