General information on this course can be found in the studiegids.

Information about the exercises can be found on a different page.

The first lecture will be on Tuesday Sept. 1, 8:45, in LIN1. The exercise courses start one week later, on Sept. 11, at 15:45, in LIN4 and LIN5.

Don't forget to register officially for this course, in Osiris; blackboard will only be used for emails announcements and marks.
