Structure of the course

The course relies heavily on self-study based on the lecture videos, course manuscript  and exercise sheets that were created in the Winter Semester 2015/16. Exercise results will be presented to and discussed with the supervising tutor (Dimitris Kouzoupis) during the semester, and a final exam will be taken in the following exam period.
