Tutorials Schedule: Wednesdays, 15.40 @ IMPAKT, Room N3.
Postal Owl (for submitting homework, tracking test scores, etc). Enrollment token: 8f2eff16ff92.
Getting the credit for tutorials:
There will be four tests (50 points + 50 points + 50 points + 90 points), totaling 240 points. To pass the tutorials, you need at least 120 points.
The homework will not be compulsory. However, it will be good practice to do it.
There will be an opportunity for an extra test for those who score at least 100 points after the four tests.
Cheating during tests will result in you not receiving the credit.
Test Dates (Tentative):
Test 1 (29th October): Gaussian elimination, computing rank.
Test 2 (26th November): Matrix operations, groups and permutations.
Test 3 (17.12.2025): Fields, vector spaces/sub-spaces, linear combination and independence.
Test 4 (7.01.2026): ?
Additional Test: ?
