    Examiner: Sofia Tirabassi

    Grading criteria     The grade is determined by the final exam.


    There will be three sets of homework. The homework will not give you a bonus point but they are useful to stay in pace with the lectures. One of the exercises in the second or third set of homework will be given in the written exam. 

     1. The first homework  is more of a self test, if you struggle you should go back and review your high school math.

    2. The second and third homework will consist of exercises very similar to those that you will get in the final exam. One  exercise or part of one exrcise worth between 3 and 5 points will appear verbatim in the final exam. No solution will be given to the homework, but if you submit them on time you will get corrections.

    A .pdf with the text of the homework will be made available here on the course web page.

    Final exam:  October 26th, 2026. 14:00-19:00  You will be provided a calculator for the test, the Casio FX-82 Solar II.

    Final exam retake: TBA You will be provided a calculator for the test, the Casio FX-82 Solar II.
