Teaching

Spring: 4 hours of lectures and 2 hours of problem sessions in plenum per week. Exercises in groups with guidance.

Autumn: 4 hours of lectures, 2 hours of problem sessions in plenum, and 2 hours of exercises per week.

Exam information

Two compulsory assignments have to be handed in and approved. Midterm exam and written examination at the end of the semester adds up to final grade. Letter grading (A-F).

Midterm exam counts for 1/3 and the written examination at the end of the semester counts for 2/3. The final grade is based on the total score and a general impression after the final examination.

Rules for compulsory assignments at the Department of Mathematics (norwegian only).

Permitted aids at the exam: All written aids and approved calculator.

Possibility of make-up exams and re-takes

This subject offers new examination in the beginning of the subsequent term for candidates who withdraw during an ordinary examination or fail an ordinary examination. Deferred examinations for students who due to illness or other valid reason of absence were unable to sit for their final exams will be arranged at the same time. (These valid reasons has to be documented within given deadlines.)

For general information about new and deferred examination, see
