Office hours MOVED to 4.30

Hi all,

Very sorry for the late notice.
It got pointed out to me that the stats exam is today at 2.30, which is why office hours would be more useful afterwards.

This is why I decided to move office hours to * 4.30 - 6 * this afternoon (same room E18-272).

If you can only do 1-2.30, please send me a quick email and we'll set up a meeting.

Best,
Ludwig

Hi all,

I hope the exam preparation is going well.
Here are a few more details for the next two days:

Tomorrow (Thu), I am going to hold my last office hours before the exam, from 1-2.30 in room E18-272. Please try to send me your questions ahead of time, if possible.

On Friday, we are going to have our exam. The details are as follows:
* Friday, 3.05pm SHARP to 4.35pm (90 minutes)
* room E51-151
* closed book, closed notes, and yes you can use a pencil
* relevant are all lecture notes (1 to 11) except for 8 (local dynamics)
* you do not need a calculator or anything like that

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best,
Ludwig

Review session notes

Hi all,

Sorry to spam your inbox...
I just typed up some notes about the things we did in the review session today. They are still preliminary and incomplete. Still I thought some of you might find that helpful. If you look at it and spot typos or mistakes, please let me know!

Best,
Ludwig
