Teaching method
This course is given using e-learning. Besides the usual tools (on-line help, email, chat, digital material) a set of video recordings with motivation, introductory explanations and development of problem solving techniques is made available to the students. The digital material contains course notes and a set of problems with solutions.
Evaluation method
The evaluation procedure: one individual home work controled by a Skype interview for 50% a a final exam for 50%.
