Exercises

The new exercise sheet will be uploaded on this page on Monday. You are supposed to have a look at it before the exercise class, so that you can ask questions if you need to. You have time until the following Monday at 12:15 to upload your solutions.
The first exercise sheet will be uploaded the second week of the semester.

Please, upload your solution via the SAM upload tool.

In order to access the website you will need a NETHZ-account and you will have to be connected to the ETH-network. From outside the ETH network you can connect to the ETH network via VPN. Here are instructions on how to do that.

Make sure that your solution is one PDF file and that its file name is formatted in the following way:

solution_<number of exercise sheet>_<your last name>_<your first name>.pdf

Example: solution_2_Surname_Name.pdf.
