Exercises

Notes:

I will usually be in my office (834, S.B.II) for answering questions regarding the course and the exercises given here on Thursdays between 16.15 and 17.00.
Sometimes it might be more appropriate to have a proper exercises class session instead. This will be held in F2 and you will be warned about it in advance here.
Some exercises might require that you study some material from the book on your own.
