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 for the Swedish students will be held in January 2020

The exam for the Chinese students will be held in December 2019

Exam with solutions (example from 2017)
