Module Exam

Description of exams and course work

The exam will be in written form (90 minutes). Students demonstrate that they have gained deeper knowledge of the mathematical concepts of the numerical algorithms presented in the course. The students are expected to be able to derive the methods, to explain their properties, to read and write pseudocode of the algorithms, and to apply them to specific examples.

Exam Repetition

The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.

Current exam dates
