Meetings: |
Monday, 15:00 - 17:00, P 9318 (part of P 9309, next to AQ level stairs entrance) |
Goal and format: |
Each meeting, one of the participants will lecture on a part of the textbook.
We will fix the assignment of topics and the lecture schedule on the first
meeting.
Lecturers, as a guide-line, should prepare a lecture of about 1.5 hours. Our time slot
allows for overrun and discussion.
