Minutes for the first meeting 20th Sep
Lectures
A little bit unmotivated
Would be nice to recall the mainline or story line
If the proof needs a lemma, better to explicitly say that "now we jump to something else, no need to take notes"
Would be nice to be more structured, more concrete on what you are saying
Nice when answering the questions from the students, better to ask more questions
Exercises
Sometimes not trivial
Use Wikipedia ti find the notation
Others
Add a link of the old notes to the coursepage
Minutes for the second meeting 26th Oct
Lectures
A little bit unstructured
Nice when Xu takes the time to answer questions
Nice when applications are mentioned, gives structure and motivation
Would be nice to explain the strategy of the proof before writing it rigorously
Nice when drawing to create mental images
Exercises
Sometimes hard
Convex analysis was hard
Exam
Will have some computation problems, (best approximations, banach fixed point iterations
If you have done the exercises, you should get a good enough grade
1-2 more theoretical questions to determine A/B students
No convex analysis or compactness, will stick to course description
Inclined to exam-problems given previously, good idea to look at
Xu and Franz will make exam together
Will be normal gradings
Will probably not be any big surprises for exam
Minutes for the first meeting 11th Jan
Exam covered the course subjects
Exam was basically given in advance - too easy
Exercise 13 was similar to exam
Exam was not too easy in general, missed an exercise to separate A-students from B-students
