Exam and Results

The course will end with a 5 h written exam. It is not allowed to bring any material apart from the collection of formulae, pen, eraser, and (non-pre-programmed!) pocket calculator. The course grade is based entirely on the written exam results.

The exam is held on Tuesday December 18 (week 51), 13:00-18:00, in room F102 (New
Main Building).
