Exercise sheets
New exercise sheets will be released each Tuesday before 11:30 am and can be downloaded below.A limited amount of copies will also be put in the respective shelf next to the entrance of the Institute for Theoretical Physics.
The solutions to the exercises have to be handed in one week later during the exercise class by each student individually.
The exercises are usually discussed one week after the respective deadline.
