Announcements

in the slot on Dec 23, we will do a short (40min) test exam, with discussion of solutions afterwards;
participation is entirely optional (questions and solutions will be made available towards the end of the Christmas holidays)
the lectures will start on Monday, Oct 21 (no lecture on Oct 14, due to semester opening)
