Ankündigungen / Announcements

• 6.08.2022: The lecture notes posted above are now complete with the exception of a few extra sections meant to contain details that were not covered in lectures due to lack of time. The present version certainly contains all examinable material (and also plenty that is not examinable).
• 21.07.2022: Everyone who handed in the take-home midterm and is taking the exam in July should have gotten their midterm back in lecture today. Everyone else will get it back within the next two weeks in plenty of time before the second exam period.
• 11.05.2022: Due to technical limitations and Prof. Wendl's recent illness, there was no Zoom broadcast and thus no videos of Lectures 3 and 4 (May 4 and 5). The Zoom broadcasts have resumed as of this week, and a link to the videos is available on moodle.

Problem sets

Problem sets will normally be posted in this spot every Thursday and discussed in the problem session (Übung) the following week. They will not be collected or graded, but it is strongly recommended that you at least think through every problem before the problem session.

• Problem Set 1
• Problem Set 2
• Problem Set 3
• Problem Set 4
• Problem Set 5
• Problem Set 6
• Problem Set 7
• Problem Set 8
