Tutorial B Thu 12-14 MA 848

This is a course of the Berlin Mathematical School held in English.

The tutorials will be conducted in two groups. You should choose one.

Please pick up your Übungschein at Frau Gillmeister's office, room MA 320.

Contents

Euclidean and non-euclidean geometry: spherical, hyperbolic, projective, Möbius, and Lie geometry. The continuation is Geometry II.

Homework policy

To get a certificate for the tutorial, you need to satisfactorily complete 50% of the homework assignments.

In case of heavy correction load, the assistant may choose to correct only a subset of the assigned problems. The 50% requirement refers to the total of the corrected problems.

The homeworks are due weekly at the beginning of the Tuesday lecture (12:15). No homework will be accepted after the deadline has passed.

Homeworks may be turned in directly to the assistant at the lecture, or left with the Sekretariat in MA 3-2 (Room 320).

If you are tempted to copy homework from a classmate, please ask yourself, "What am I learning when I do this?".
