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.
