•
•
The next exam is held on 17.2.2016
Typically the exam is held once during spring and
once during autumn
The exam consists of 6 exercises covering all the
course topics
Exercises
• Numerical exercises that must be solved before each
exercise session.
• The solution will be provided during the exercise
sessions (see schedule).
• You will earn extra points by solving the exercises and
returning the solution before the deadline!
– Excellent training for the final exam…(participation
highly recommended)
