This includes

  • Announcements
  • Slides

Do not ask! Everything is relevant for the exam.

Slides

  • The creation of the slide sets is work in progress
  • They cover all topics of the lecture
  • BUT they are no book and, hence, do not comprise
    • all details
    • all derivations
    • all thoughts and discussions which are part
      of the lecture and exercises
  • participate
  • ask questions
  • take notes
  • do your own research (e.g., use the books)

Exercises

The exercises are no legal precondition for participating in the exam, BUT they…

  • …are very important to recap the content.
  • …are a good opportunity to check your understanding.
  • …provide the chance to ask me all your questions.

Exam

What is necessary to pass the exam?

You should be able to …

  • explain main concepts and ideas with your own words,
  • select a suitable solution for a given problem,
  • analyze a given solution and detect (potential) problems, and
  • explain your answers.

Literature

You can borrow both of these books from the library or access them online for free (see links above).

More Literature

  • Parts of the slide sets are closely related to the books.
  • The two-column layout (English/German) of the bilingual book is quite useful for this course

Digital versions of these books can also be found at the library to be downloaded online for free.

Summary

  • At the end of each chapter the last slide summarizes the most important take-away messages
  • Now is a good moment to recapitulate whether there are any open questions
  • When preparing for the exam these summaries can help you
