Weekly Exercises

Tuesday 16:15 - 18.00 in A380, 3. floor north building SII. Those who do not belong to the study program Industrial Mathematics must contact the Department office, 7th floor SII, in order to have entrance to the 3. floor north building SII

There is one compulsory exercise in this course which will count 20 percent on the exam. In addition there will be given ordinary exercises each week. These exercises will start in week 3. As computer software we will use R. A lot of useful information about R can be found on the web-site: http://cran.r-project.org/
