The exercise sheets will be published on Monday in the table below as well as distributed on Tuesday during the lecture. The exercises then will be discussed during the exercise class, and turned in a week later. Submitting exercise sheets is possible either in the exercise class or in HG G 53 by placing it into the tray of the corresponding assistant. Corrected exercise sheets will be distributed one week later in the exercise classes, or can be picked up in HG G 53 afterwards.
