Examination details

Grading scale: TH
Assessment: Assessment of individual (written) home exercises, lab-reports, and a final written examination, which consists of a theory part (without means of assistance) and an open-book problem-solving part. The course mark is determined from a total sum, which consists of the result from the passed written examination and (if any) bonus points from approved problem assignments. The graduation is determined from a special formula.

Admission

Admission requirements:

Required prior knowledge: FMA420 Linear Algebra, FMA430 Calculus in Several Variables.
The number of participants is limited to: No
The course might be cancelled: If the number of applicants is less than 5.
