Course Material

The course literature and problem sets are collected in a course compendium. The course compendium is sold at STEX from the course start. No book has to be purchased.

The course compendium is still in print, I will post a message when it is available. It will cost 150 sek.¶ The course compendium is based on these lecture notes:
