Lecture & Problem Session
This course includes three different components:
- During the lectures you learn about new topics. For this part of the course there are lecture notes which you may also use during the exam. The lecture notes will be distributed by the International Department (ID).
The first lecture is on October, 20th, 2011.
- During the problem sessions, examples corresponding to the topics of the last week's lectures will be demonstrated. With the aid of these examples, you should be able to complete the weekly homework assignments.
The problem class starts on October, 26th, 2011.
- Additionally we offer a tutorial, where a tutor (Kai Becker kai.becker@student.kit.edu a fellow senior student) discusses problems with you. This tutor will also correct your homework.
The tutorial starts the second week of classes.

The testat
If you successfully work on the home work, a testat will be given to you at the end of the semester, which is required for registration for the exam.
Please note: The AM I exam is part of the Orientierungsprüfung, which you must complete by the end of the third semester.
For the testat, you have to satisfy the following criteria:
- achieve at least 125 points on worksheets 1 to 10. This is 25% of all the total points obtainable (each worksheet is worth 50 points)
- have at least 5 points from at least 8 of those worksheets.
Worksheets
Every week, a new worksheet will be handed out with 5 problems. On any problem you can get up to 10 points. Your solutions must be handed in by the next week. Please hand in your homework into the AM1-box near seminar room Z1, building 01.85 (Fritz-Erler-Str. 1-3).
During the semester you will find more information on problems here. Additionally we offer some tests where you can check your knowledge.

Maple - Worksheets
In addition to the Advanced Mathematics lectures there are Maple Worksheets available. You can download each worksheet as ".mw" files and work on it on your computer.
Examination
Please note: The AM I exam is part of the Orientierungsprüfung, which you must complete by the end of the third semester.
The examinations in Advanced Mathematics will take place on February 18, 2012. During the exam the use of the following material is allowed:
- the AM I lecture notes including any handwritten notes in your copy,
- a printed book of formulae,
- any one mathematical text book.
It is not allowed to use any electronical devices (calculator, etc.) and collections of old exams or other material.
Collections of old exams
You can buy copies from old exams (including solutions) at the students's council/union of the department of Mechanical Engineering (Fachschaft Maschinenbau/Chemieingenieurwesen). Link to their Homepage . Note that the old exams are only available in German language at the moment.
Note also that we don't take responsibility for the correctness of the copies.
