To all candidates taking the exam. The topics or the presentation in the first part of the exam have been randomly assigned during classes today April 28th. Individual emails with the topics have been sent. If you have not received it, please take contact with the lecturer.
The oral exam is organised in 2 parts. In the first 15 minutes the candidate will present a prepared topic assigned individually. The presentation should be detailed of the necessary definitions, proofs (at least one), and example (particularly when mentioned). The second part is about 30 minutes and consisted of questions on the program. In this part both theory and exercises can be asked. The whole program is material for examination. In the section schedule of this course page, you find details of the material covered during lectures and exercise sessions. No notes are admitted at the exam.
The exam is held according to the guidelines provided by the Institute. It will be digital (zoom) when possible. If candidates envisage technical difficulties, then an exam on campus can be organised. For this, contact the lecturer no later than May 11th.

On the one side a large number of students are happy with the digital format both because of the presentations (I 'm of course happy you appreciate the effort!) and because it is a trouble to travel with public transport for long distances (not to mention the general health safely). On the other side, there is a need for some students to have more interaction. A small group is open to all solutions.
The care for health is of a priority in this period. So be reassured that we keep the course in digital format in what concerns lectures and material.
In addition, I open some exercise classes at Blindern. The material discussed and the solutions will be posted on the net anyway. This option is for everyone and it is particularly organised for all those who most feel the need for interaction and exchange. The exercise classes at Blindern will ...
