Jacobs University, Spring 2018
Class: Mon 09:45 - 11:00, Lecture Hall Research I; Tue 14:15 - 15:30, East Hall 4
Tutorial Session: Wed 19:15 - 20:30, West Hall 8
Syllabus (as of Feb. 1, 2018) available here. (Note that the Syllabus will not be updated, the most recent information can be found on this website.)
The class mainly follows
Abhik Pal wrote very nice class notes in LaTex (thank you very much!):
These will be continuously updated and extended.
The final grade is weighted as follows: Homework: 20%, Midterm: 30%, Final: 50%
There will be two exams, a midterm and a final. More details will be announced. Note that this class uses gradescope for grading exams, see here for more information.
Midterm Exam: Mon, Mar. 19, 2018, Lecture Hall Research I, 9:45 - 11:00
The exam begins at 9:45 sharp, so please come a few minutes earlier to be seated at 9:45. The midterm is about all material up to the Mar. 5 session. You only need to bring a pen, no calculators or notes! Please be aware of the University policy regarding missing exams: Policies for Undergraduate Studies. In particular, in case you are missing an exam due to illness (only with doctor's note) or an emergency, you have to notify me (by email) before the beginning of the exam!
Final Exam: Tue, May 29, 2018, IRC conference hall, 16:00-18:00
The exam begins at 16:00 sharp, so please come a few minutes earlier to be seated at 16:00. The final exam is about all material of the class, with an emphasis on the second half. You only need to bring a pen, no calculators or notes! Please be aware of the University policy regarding missing exams: Policies for Undergraduate Studies. In particular, in case you are missing an exam due to illness (only with doctor's note) or an emergency, you have to notify me (by email) before the beginning of the exam!
Each week on Tuesday (with exceptions) there will be a homework assignment. These are an integral part of the coursework and working on the exercise sheets consistently is the best preparation for the exams. Note that
