Structure of the course

The course consists of lectures and exercise sessions. The lectures present the various topics in a theoretical manner, together with examples illustrating the theory.
More examples are treated in the exercise sessions and on the worksheets. The students are encouraged to submit their solutions to the worksheets for grading. The usual submission deadline is Thursdays, before the lecture. The chief purpose of the grading is to provide feedback, no credits can be earned by submitting the solutions.
