The course has now ended. The final exam was held on Monday 14th February 2005. The results of the exam can be found on the page given here. Please note that there may be undetected mistakes in the list: the absolutely final grade is the one that you get on your signed Schein!!

There is also an ANSWER SHEET, which gives hints and details about the particular answers expected in the exam, so that you check what you did right and what you may have done wrong. Check here.

Materials and organisation

The reader has now been withdrawn from the copyshop so that battered copies can be replaced, etc. If you want anything from the reader, contact me by e-mail and we can arrange something.

You can still download my contributions to the course READER directly here however:.

Part I can be downloaded here ; Part II from here (1.7Mb) and Part III from here (257kB).

All of these are in Acrobat 'portable document format' (pdf). For this you need the Acrobat reader which is free and more often than not installed on computers anyway.

The course OUTLINE and SCHEDULE is available here.

The bibliography for the course READINGS is available here

Additional materials may be added throughout the semester; you will be pointed at relevant materials in the lectures and in the tutorials. You can look at any of the materials here when you wish; for some tutorials particular parts of this material may become set reading, so stay alert.

Tutorials

Tutorial times have now been fixed and you should be attending one of the regular sessions offered by Tobi, Anike, Maksym or Alan. Rooms may change when the Lehrveranstaltungsbüro can find us some. Watch this space!
