-
Unfortunately, there will be no lectures on 18.12.2012 and on 20.12.2012 (due to absence of Yuri Suris for a mathematical conference).
Homework sheets
Homework policy
- To get a certificate for the tutorial, you need to satisfactorily complete 60% of the homework assignments in each semester half and to present the solution of (at least) one homework problem on the blackboard.
- The homeworks are due weekly at the Tuesday tutorial. No homework will be accepted after the deadline.
