Meeting ID: 845 6157 1146
Passcode: 825206
I will give out a new passcode in the first meeting, after making sure that precisely the right people are there.
Tuesday, 13:30-15:10, Zoom
Friday, 13:30-15:10, Zoom
Wednesdays starting in the second week, there will be questions and homework-help services, led by one of the assistants. Please send your questions by email to the assistants several days prior to the session in order to facilitate more fruitful discussions.
Session Hours:
Wednesday, 16:00-17:00, Zoom
Please buy the book, or at least get a physical or electronic copy!
Reading in the book will be essential in this course!
Homeworks will be provided here every Friday during the semester.
Please return your solutions electronically (preferrably as a PDF document) directly to Marc Barroso, mbarroso@theorie.ikp.physik.tu-darmstadt.de.
People who average above 60% on their homework, after discarding the lowest-scoring homework, will receive a bonus to the final course grade of 0.3 or 0.4 points.

That said, there will be a final homework assignment which is in some sense comprehensive over what we have covered.
