Lectures

I will make lecture notes available here. These are the lecture notes from Lars Petterson, who taught the course last year. These notes are of much better quality than my notes. Thus, some differences with the actual lectures I give will occur.

Tutorials

The material for the tutorials will be collected here. Focus will be on old exam questions.
Here is the planning for the tutorials (pdf) (updated 2018-09-28).

Hand-ins

There will be eight hand-in exercise sheets, that together make up 0.3 of the total grade. The due date of the sheets is monday, at 10:00. Sheets will be posted roughly ten days before the deadline.

Please read the general remarks for the hand-ins carefully!

Exam and grading

The hand-ins will count for 0.3 of the grade, the exam 0.7. To pass the course (grade E), one needs 0.5, for grade D 0.6, etc.

Old exams

The following old exams were made by a different teacher, so they might differ somewhat in style, etc.
