Course requirements

The learning goals of the course can be found in the course plan.

Assignments

During the course there will be three homework assignments. They are not mandatory but can result in up to 4 bonus points on the written exam. The expiring date for the bonus points are 2019-09-15. You can send your solutions to the handins (I want pdf-files) by mail to kumlin@chalmers.se.

Homework assignment 1: Deadline 2018-09-18 changed to 2018-09-21 Solutions

Homework assignment 2: Deadline 2018-10-02 changed to 2018-10-05 Solutions

Homework assignment 3: Deadline 2018-10-18 changed to 2018-10-21

Every homework assignment consists of 4 problems and a correct solution to a problem gives 1 point. The total number of points one can get is 12 points. This results in bonus points according to the following table:

4 bonus points if at least 11 points

3 bonus points if at least 8 points

2 bonus points if at least 5 points

1 bonus point if at least 3 points

Examination

The course is examined by a written exam. This consists of 6 problems where 3 of them are of a more theoretical nature. To pass the exam you need to score 10 points (bonus points included) out of 25 points. To get the grades 4 and 5 you need to score 15 and 20 points respectively.

You should be able to state and explain all definitions and state and prove the theorems given in the course and apply them in problem solving. More information on the written exam is given here.

Examination procedures

In Chalmers Student Portal you can read about when exams are given and what rules apply on exams at Chalmers. In addition to that, there is a schedule when exams are given for courses at University of Gothenburg.

Before the exam, it is important that you sign up for the examination. If you study at Chalmers, you can do this from the Chalmers Student Portal, and if you study at University of Gothenburg, you sign up via GU's Student Portal.

At the exam, you should be able to show valid identification.

After the exam has been graded, you can see your results in Ladok by logging on to your Student portal.

At the annual (regular) examination:
When it is practical, a separate review is arranged. The date of the review will be announced here on the course homepage. Anyone who can not participate in the review may thereafter retrieve and review their exam at the Mathematical Sciences Student office. Check that you have the right grades and score. Any complaints about the marking must be submitted in writing at the office, where there is a form to fill out.

At re-examination:
Exams are reviewed and retrieved at the Mathematical Sciences Student office. Check that you have the right grades and score. Any complaints about the marking must be submitted in writing at the office, where there is a form to fill out.
