Exam and Bonus point

The course has three facultative (not-mandatory) homework assignments, due week 37, 39 and 41, and a final written exam. The exam accounts for 6.0 ECTS, with grades are given in the range A - F or Fx, where Fx gives the right to a complementary examination to potentially reach the grade E.

Each homework assignment involves 5 problems giving at most 15 points. At the exam 5 points give one bonus point towards the exam, so in total one can get 9 bonus points - these are valid only for the exam on 25 October and the re-exam in December 2021. See further description on the page for Homework. The 2020 homework with solutions: hw1, hw1-solutions, hw2, hw2-solutions, hw3, hw3-solutions.

Checklist for the exam and previous exams (with answers) are found below. Please note that the solutions are only suggestions and some tasks could be solved in other ways.
