Practical information

There will be a total of 12 problem sets, and you need to pass 8 of them in order to be eligible for the exam. Please contact Helge Jørgen Samuelsen, and not your teaching assistant, if you think you will have trouble meeting this requirement. Exceptions will be made only under special circumstances.

You may upload your solutions (either typed in tex or a scanned/photographed copy) to your account at https://ovsys.math.ntnu.no/login/.

If you want detailed feedback on your solutions, please indicate this clearly on the front page of each assignment. Otherwise, the teaching assistants will simply assess your work, and give you a pass/fail grade in ovsys.

If you have completed the required amount of exercises in an earlier year, you are automatically eligible to take the exam. You can check whether this is the case by asking at the department office (7th floor of SBII). Note that the lecturer does not have access to this information. It is strongly recommended that you still do this year's exercises.

Groups

The coordinator of the exercise groups is Helge Jørgen Samuelsen. Please contact him with matters concerning the groups or problem sets. If you need help with an actual problem on a problem set, you should ask in an exercise session. You may check which group you belong to here. You are free to choose which exercise session you attend.
