Analytic Combinatorics
Summer Semester 2019
Lectured by Mihyun Kang, Philipp Sprüssel
Institute of Discrete Mathematics
The course will consist of fourteen lectures and six exercise sessions (each for 105 min), taking place mondays (seminar room AE02) and wednesdays (lecture hall BE01) from 10:15 am until 12:00 noon.
It is not compulsory to attend the lectures; it is only compulsory to attend the exercise sessions if you have marked an exercise.
See TUGonline for a complete list of dates. (The dates
without a remark "Lecture", "Exercises", or "Exam" are backup dates and are only
to be used if other dates have to be cancelled.)
This course will be graded based both on the participation in the exercise sessions and points gained in a written or an oral exam at the end of the course. There will be a makeup exam for those who missed the original exam or who wish to improve their grade. For those who take part in the makeup exam, the points from that exam will replace the points from the original exam.

The exercise sheets will be available about a week before the respective exercise session. You can then use an online system (a link is provided below) to mark which exercises you solved. The deadline for marking is precisely one hour before the start of the session. After the deadline, no changes can be made. The choice of who shall present which solution in class is made by a random generator. If you mark an exercise, you need to be present at the respective exercise session.
Points will also be gained by presenting solutions of exercises. Everyone should present at least one exercise in order to pass.
You should present solutions in a way that enables the other participants to follow your arguments. If it becomes apparent that someone did not do an exercise they marked in the system (it is fine if the exercise has been done, but mistakes have been made), this can be penalised by scaling all points from all exercise sessions by 0.5.
Before you log in for the first time, enter your student ID number; the system
will then automatically send a password to your student email address. The system
will update the list of participants each day. If you have just registered for
the course, it may take up to 24 hours until the system recognises you.
The online system is available under the following link:
The total number of points is the sum P of the points M gained by marking solved exercises in the online system, the points S for presenting solutions, and the points E from the exam. Depending on P, the grade will be
P | < | 16 | nicht genügend (5), | ||
16 | ≤ | P | < | 20 | genügend (4), |
20 | ≤ | P | < | 24 | befriedigend (3), |
24 | ≤ | P | < | 28 | gut (2), |
28 | ≤ | P | |
|
sehr gut (1). |
