REORGANIZED COURSE FOR SS2021 Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the standard GR course has been reorganized as follows: The normal lecture is replaced by self-study of a textbook (see Literature). At the planned times of the lecture, there will be a video contact (see Lecture). The exercise part of this course is more or less standard, with sheets handed in (KIT-ILIAS) and graded (see Exercises), followed by discussion (now by video conference). You must register yourself for the lecture and the exercises separately. This is obligatory and must be done in campus.studium by April 11, 12:00. In case of any problems, contact Dr. Emelyanov . All information on this webpage is to be regarded exclusively |
