Problem Sheets
A problem sheet will be published each Thursday on this webpage.
Students should solve the problems and write down solutions independently and also should discuss the solutions in groups. Please submit written solutions in the beginning of the problem class, that is, by Tuesday, 15:45 AM (12 day later).
Only handwritten solutions will be accepted. Please do not use a pencil! The solutions will be corrected and graded by the tutor (Abdallah Alshanawani). Your graded solutions are available during the tutorial. Please grab them there!
If you successfully work on the homework and pass the midterm test, a testat will be given to you at the end of the semester. Please note the criteria for the testat in the section below!
The Testat
You can obtain the testat by getting enough points for your homework solutions. The testat is necessary for you to be admitted to the exam. For the testat, you have to satisfy the following criteria:
- Obtain at least 125 points on worksheets 1 to 10. This is 25% of all the total points obtainable (each worksheet is worth 50 points).
- For at least 8 of those worksheets have at least 5 points from each.
- Pass the midterm test on Monday December 11 (in the lecture).
- You need to register for the testat (prerequisites) by February 2 on www.campus.studium.kit.edu.
Tutorial
There is a student tutorial given by Abdallah Alshanawani. In the tutorial you will practice solving exercises in an interactive manner. You can also ask your questions connected to lectures or problem classes.
Examination
There will be a written exam on
- Friday, February 23, 8:00 - 10:00,
