Teaching Assistent: Eva van Ammers

We will use the book Representations and Characters of Groups by Gordon James and  Martin Liebeck (any edition is in principle okay).

If there are only Dutch students the lectures and tutorials will be in Dutch.

Exam June 28, 9.00-12.00 h.

On May 17 there will be some homework exercises they can count for 1/10-th of your final grade, i.e., the grade for this course is the maximum of the exam grade or 9/10 x grade of the exam + 1/10 grade homework
