General Information
On average there will be 3 hours of lectures and 2 hours of problem classes a week. Thus the course is worth 7 credit points. More precisely, the course is set up as follows.
- Lectures take place every Monday 11:30 - 13:00 and every other Tuesday 11:30 - 13:00, starting with lectures on Monday October 17 and Tuesday October 18.
- Problem classes take place every Wednesday 14:00 - 15:30.
This course will be held in English. However all students are most welcome to attend!
Lectures
The lectures cover diverse topics in discrete geometry with a focus on the 2-dimensional case. A rough schedule will be made available in the first few weeks. Lecture Notes on the content of passed lectures will be provided later.
Lecture Notes
The current version of the lecture notes will be available here.
Currently the notes of this lecture from the summer term 2013 are available. The lecture will be based on these notes, but some changes are planned (in particular the exercises might change and some open questions were answered).
Problem classes
Every week an exercise sheet is provided on this webpage. It contains problems related to the content of the current lectures. The problems will be discussed in the problem class. Students are supposed to solve the problems at home and present them at the problem classes.
