Lecture note
Please refer explicitly to this lecture note when quoting any part of it.
Problem sets
Each student is supposed to submit his/her solutions to the following sets of problems.
The deadlines are specified at the beginning of each problem set.
There are two types of problems:
Problems and Exercises.
In each submission of solutions, all Problems are required to be answered
unless otherwise stated, whereas Exercises are only additional and solutions to them are
not required.
IMPORTANT: In order to be admitted to the final exam,
each student has to obtain in total more than A/2 points by
submitting his/her solutions to the problem sets,
where A denotes the sum of points assigned to mandatory problems.
Remark: for submission of solutions to the problem sets,
discussion with other students is allowed, but
DO NOT COPY the solutions of others.
Please write your solutions BY YOURSELF, IN YOUR WORDS.
Also it is NOT allowed to submit solutions as a joint work of
two or more students. EACH student is supposed
to submit his/her solutions written in his/her own words.
Points for problem sets:
10 points are assigned to each section of Problems and 15 points to each section of Exercises
unless otherwise stated.
- Problem set 1 (Submission of solutions not required; meant only for discussion in the tutorials.)
- Problem set 2
- Problem set 3 (Some wrong dates have been fixed.)
- Problem set 4 (Some wrong dates have been fixed.)
- Problem set 5
- Problem set 6
- Problem set 7
(The deadline is 12:00 (sharp) on 02.11.2012 (Friday)
since the corresponding tutorial is on 05.11.2012 (Monday).)
- Problem set 8 (Submission of solutions not required; meant only for discussion in the tutorial.)
- Problem set 9
- Problem set 10
DO NOT SKIP Exercise 3.11 when writing your solutions. Exercise 3.11 is not difficult and
will be treated in detail in the tutorial although it is classified as Exercise in regards to the assigned points.
- Problem set 11
- Problem set 12
This time most problems are just simple applications of Theorem 3.61 and Theorem 4.4.
Please try to understand these two theorems.
- Problem set 13
(The deadline is 16:15 (sharp) on 11.12.2012 (Tuesday)
since the corresponding tutorial is on this same day.)
REMARK: Please DO NOT SKIP the Exercises when writing solutions to Problem set 13.
The Exercises in this problem set are not difficult and will be treated in detail in the tutorial although they are classified as Exercises.
- Problem set 14 (Submission of solutions not required; meant only for discussion in the tutorial.)
