Exercise sheets
Copies of the exercise sheets can be found in front of the entrance of the Institute for Theoretical Physics. New exercise sheets will be put there each Wednesday after the lecture (11:30 am). Alternatively, they can be downloaded below.The solutions to the exercises have to be handed in one week later at the end of the lecture on Wednesday or during the exercise class on Thursday by each student individually. The exercises are then discussed yet another week later.
