Zusätzliche Informationen
Please note the (unusual) schedule of this course:

Lectures and exercises/recitation sessions will be held six hours per week during the first about 10 weeks of the lecturing term, see the list of dates in TUCaN.  Oral exams are foreseen to be administered in the next-to-last week of the term.

A detailed overview of the course, including further information, will be available end of March 2018 at the Moodle site accompanying this course.
