LMA017 Mathematical analysis in several variables

Welcome to the course!

 

Basic info

 

Course PM.

 

If by some reason one misses a lecture (e.g. because of of sickness or overlap of schedules ), here is a link to videos of lectures from 2021

Videos from 2021

There are differences and improvements in lectures this year compared with 2021.

I DO NOT recommend to use the videos instead of coming to lectures.

Review of the course

 

Example Exam

 

Rooms for exercise sessions are changed to bigger rooms for some days. Don't forget to look at Time Edit!

Below you can find recommended exercises for each week. The ones with asterisks will be presented at the exercise sessions. 

Of course you are recommended to do as many exercises (also not listed below) as you have time for.
