    • Homework and final grade

    		 Four homework sets wil be distributed:

    SeriesHand outHand inDownload
    1 16-03-201005-04-2010 homework set 1
    2 29-03-201030-04-2010 homework set 2
    3 23-04-201014-05-2010 homewerk set 3
    4 06-05-201007-06-2010 homework set 4

    The hand-in dates are strict. The homework series are graded on a scale from 1 to 10. Missing series receive the grade 1. The final grade for the course is determined on the basis of the grades for the four homework series.

    Participants who complete the homework series satisfactorily receive a grade and 6 EC. Participants who do not complete the homework series but attend the meetings actively may receive 1 EC.

    MATLAB

    		 The homework assignments include several numerical exercises that require the use of MATLAB (version 6.0 or later) and some of its toolboxes. Those participants who do not have access to MATLAB or the toolboxes that are needed are asked to contact one of the lecturers.
