Exercises are optional and do not affect the final grade. However, it is strongly recommended that you invest time to understand and practice the concepts discussed in the lectures. Solving the exercises is also an effective preparation for the coding problems in the examination.
New exercises are released every two weeks. If you want your solutions to be corrected by your teaching assistant, please submit them using the online submission interface. Please submit before the end of the first day of the discussion dates, and you should receive feedback by the next week.
An optional study center will be offered during which the assistants will be at your disposal for questions. The room is equipped with a blackboard, screens and configurable tables. You can use this room for solving the exercises.

We use the gcc compiler (with the gnu++14 dialect) and the linear algebra library Eigen. You should have C++ with Eigen ready to use before the tutorial, so that basic issues can be addressed during the tutorial itself.
In most Linux distributions (including on ETH computers) Eigen is pre-installed. Otherwise it can be downloaded from here. Eigen is a template library, therefore no installation is required. The library is usually located in
/usr/include/eigen3. If your compiler can't find Eigen, try to compile with g++ eigen_demo.cpp -I/usr/include/eigen3.
To work with Eigen on Windows you can either (in order of recommendation):
ssh USERNAME@slab1.ethz.ch (you can also try with slab2, slab3, slab4), or
To give you an idea of the final exam, we provide a mockExam and its solution.

Two 30 minutes long, paper-based, closed book examinations will be held during the semester. These short exams are optional and count at most as a 20% bonus on the final exam grade. More precisely: Let MAX be the maximum number of points one can get at the final exam and let FINAL be your own points at the final exam. Moreover, let MIDTERM and ENDTERM be numbers between 0 and 0.1, indicating the bonus from midterm and endterm exam respectively. Then your total points will be:
min(MAX, round((MIDTERM + ENDTERM) * MAX) + FINAL)
g++ filename.cpp. No make/cmake files will be provided (but you can make your own if you want)../a.out < tests.txt.Old exams can be found here. Moreover, solutions to the following exams are available:
