Winter 2011/12: Mathematics I
New:
In the first week of the summer term there will be announced here a date for the inspection of exams probably in the week
April 15 - 19, 2012.
Lectures: Mon 9.00 - 11.00 a.m. in G02-311 and Thu 3.00 - 5.00 p.m. in G02-311
Tutorials:
Ms. Alina Bondarava: Wed 11.00 a.m. - 1.00 p.m. in G22A-105 and
Mr. Philipp Letzgus: Thu 9.00 - 11.00 a.m. in G22A-110
Every student should attend one of the tutorials per week (preferably each week on the same day). It is recommended that both subgroups in the
Wednesday and Thursday tutorials have approximately the same size.
Recommended textbook:
A textbook that includes all the topics from the lecture is available now (see Reference 1 below).
The use of this textbook is strongly recommended.
Further information about the book can be found
here.
Examinations:
There are two-hour written examinations in Mathematics I (February) and Mathematics II (July/August).
As working tools are allowed:
a pocket calculator
a printed collection of formulas (booklet used in mathematics in school, e.g. ' Tafelwerk' in Germany)
EITHER TWO individually prepared ONE-SIDED sheets of paper (with arbitrary material)
OR textbook `Mathematics of Economics and Business' by Werner and Sotskov
Every student should indicate the chosen variant on the cover sheet of the examination paper (`2' stands for `two pages' and
`B' stands for `book'). Note that the use of a collection of (handwritten or printed) copies of pages (of whatsoever) is NOT allowed.
A selection of old examinations including answers to the problems can be found under
`Lehrmaterial' of the Faculty of Mathematics
within the part `Klausuren' and below.

I wish all students success in studying mathematics!
Quotation: It is easier to buy books than to read them, and easier to read them than to absorb them.
