Lectures

This course has two hours of general lectures on Tuesday. Attendance is not obligatory, but if you are there you are expected to be actively involved in the lecture.

Exercise hours

This course has two exercise hours on Thursday. These hours are organized as follows.

Assignments

This course has weekly assignments. Technically these assignments are not obligatory. If you do the final exam and get a grade of 5.5 or higher you will have passed the course! However, if you want to use good results from the intermediate tests to increase the grade of the final exam, you will have to hand in these assignments in order to get at least a 5.0 on average for these assignments. Needless to say that even if you don't want to use the bonus retrieved by doing the intermediate tests, it is still worthwhile to hand in these assignments and get feedback on the quality of your work. It happens quite often with this kind of mathematics that students understand the general idea, but are not able to express this idea explicitly on paper.

Scanning

Just for your convenience we provide a short user guide for scanning your homework on the KonicaMinolta multi functionals. Note that you probably have to type the PIN-code "1111" beforen you can do anything with these machines.

Literature

Book

This course uses a book as its main resource: We use the so-called Global edition, Seventh Edition, ISBN 978-0-07-131501-2. The book (paper or e-book) can be bought via http://www.mheducation.co.uk, but you can also buy it via Thalia. Within this course we roughly study half of the book, but the book is also being used in the second year course Combinatorics. You are obliged to have this book.

Lecture notes

The slides being used at the lectures will become available afterwards in Blackboard.

Background knowledge

Those of you who want to get a recap on high school mathematics should read these to documents (in Dutch). Experience from the past has shown that this is almost always necessary for pre-master students and other students that don't come directly from a Dutch VWO.

Schedule

There are two separate schedules that you should keep track of for this course:
