Problem sessions:

Teaching assistant: Johannes Schulz (j.schulz # astro.ru.nl)

Solutions for the problems will be discussed during the corresponding werkcollege and written on the blackboard.
The students are strongly encouraged to actively participate and present their solutions at the blackboard.
Students who participate regularly (typically 2 to 3 times at the blackboard) will obtain a bonus point for the final exam.
The solutions elaborated by the students will not be collected, they do not need to be delivedred.
