Mathematical Foundations
Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg - Winter
2011/2012
Prof. Dr. Alexander Pott
You can look at your exam
Tuesday, April 10, 10:00-12:00 or 16:00-16:30
in Room G03-223
on the main campus (Universitätsplatz).
If you use a calculator on which you can save text and you use this feature,
you will fail the exam!!!
The written exam (February 10, 10-12) at the end of the
lecture will be based on the lecture and
the examples in the tutorial.
You may use any
scientific calculator (Taschenrechner) and a sheet of
paper where you may write/print any formulae or
examples as you want.
Size of that paper: DIN A4, double sided.
Other books or notes or notebooks/laptops are not allowed.
You may get 50 points in the exam, and you will pass the exam if you
get more than 20 of these.
Here is the exam that I have given last year.
The final lecture will be January 11, 2012.
You will find each Wednesday a new problem sheet here on the homepage,
which you will discuss in the tutorial one week later.
You do not have to hand in the problems, hence there will
be no grading of the homework. However, we ask you to
look at the problem sheets before the tutorial, and to try to solve
the problems by yourself.
