There was a typing error in the exam requirements.
Chapter 3 of the book is not part of them.
Further down I have listed the precise requirements for the
oral examinations that are to take place in January. If you have not
yet made an appointment for such an exam, please contact me as soon
as possible by email.
Exercise 2.18 turned out to be more difficult (hence more interesting)
than I thought. See extra exercise E.24 for hints.
Start: The first lecture will be given on
Wednesday, September 27, 10:00 - 13:00, Buys Ballot 107
Intensive reminder: On Tuesday, September 19, I will
give a course in the Master Class series
Basic knowledge of topology and differentiable manifolds,
as taught in the Bachelor programme.
Exam:
During the course:
Each student is required to share in providing sample solutions
to exercises.
The sample solutions will be graded and displayed
in the library.
In addition to the sample exercises, the following
exercises are mandatory: E.17, E.18, B.2.17, B.2.18 (see also E.24), B.2.29.
Your grades for solutions to these exercises will
account for 50 percent of your final grade.
Deadline for handing in: January 24, 2007, 17:00.
Oral exam: An oral exam at the end of the course will determine
the remaining 50 percent of your final grade. The possible subjects of discussion
during the exam are:
Theory: book chapters 1-2, lecture notes numbered 1,2,3 above;
Exercises: the exercises you hand in after December 22.
The exams for Master Class students will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday,
