Coursework requirements
8 out of 12 compulsory assginmenst must be approved, 4 compulsory assignments, 8 out of 12 compulsory assginmenst must be approved, 6 out of 9 compulsory assignments must be approved, 2 lab-reports, 75% mandatory attendance at math exercises
8 out of 12 mandatory hand-ins approved. Hand-in assignments must be approved by subject teacher 3 weeks ahead of examination date. Otherwise the student will be barred from the exam.
The hand-ins will comprise the main elements of the course syllabus and give the student proper training in working with problems relevant for the final exam.
6 hours lectures and 2 hours exercises every week. The excercises will be carried out under the supervision of teaching assistants. Language of tuition: English or Norwegian.
