The teaching material is produced in various formats for printing and on-screen reading.
The course consists of two projects which are graded and count 50% each of the final grade. The projects are of a computational character and knowledge of programming languages like Python, C++/C, Fortran etc are recommended. If you are not familiar with these programming languages, we provide below links to online material on how to get started with C++, Python and Fortran.
