Analytic Combinatorics
Summer Semester 2022
Lectured by Mihyun Kang, Philipp Sprüssel
Institute of Discrete Mathematics
The course comprises 12 lectures and 5 exercise sessions and takes place wednesdays
between 2:15pm and 4:15pm and thursdays between 11:45am and 1:45pm.
For a detailed list of dates see
TUGonline.
It is not compulsory to attend the lectures; it is only compulsory to attend the exercise
sessions if you have marked an exercise.
The venue is chosen depending on the respective Corona traffic light status:
In order to attend online classes (whenever the traffic light status is orange or red), you will need to be able to attend Webex meetings. For presenting solutions during online exercise sessions, your device will need to have a working microphone. A webcam or a tablet (in order to write on the screen) would be a plus, but are not strictly necessary.
This course will be graded based both on the participation in the exercise sessions and points gained in a written exam at the end of the course. There will be a makeup exam for those who missed the original exam or who haven't gained enough points to pass the course. For those who take part in the makeup exam, the points from that exam will replace the points from the original exam.
Regular exam: | 1 June |
---|---|
Makeup exam: | TBA |
The exercise sheets will be available about a week before the respective exercise session. You can then use an online system (a link will be provided below) to mark which exercises you solved. The deadline for marking is precisely one hour before the start of the respective 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.
Attention: Keep in mind that in case of traffic light status red or orange, you will have to present your solution via a video conference. The optimal way would be if you have the possibility to write the solution during the presentation (e.g. using a tablet or a camera filming you writing on paper). If such methods are not available to you, prepare your written solution as a file (e.g. scan or photograph the handwritten solution) that you can then share during the exercise session while verbally explaining the solution.
Points will also be gained by presenting solutions of problems. Everyone should present at least one solution 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). |
All course materials (lecture notes, exercise sheets) will be made available via the TeachCenter course.
