Project

The project is important in two different ways: 1. to be admitted to the exam. 2. as part of the evaluation. Hereby it is important that:

  1. It is obligatory to do the work/project. The project must be found acceptable to be admitted to the exam. For this purpose, a reasonable attempt to solve all problems must be made. If you did the project in a previous year and you were admitted to the exam, you will still be admitted to the exam this semester.
  2. The project counts for 20% of the final grade in the course. Only projects that are done this semester will count to the final mark. If you did the project in a previous semester the points will not be transferred, i.e. you will only be able to achieve a maximum of 80%. In order to be counted to your final mark, the project has to be re-done this semester.

Further comments:

  • The project has to be done in groups of two persons. If you have no partner please send an email to Ioannis ioannis [dot] vardaxis [at] math [dot] ntnu [dot] no and we try to find you a partner.
  • You will get one week lecture-free in week 45 to work intensively on the project.
