Kursöversikt
This page contains the program of the course: lectures, exercise sessions and data labs. Other information, such as learning outcomes, teachers, literature and examination, are in a separate course PM.
Program
The schedule of the course is available in TimeEdit. The course has two lectures and two exercise classes a week. In weeks 3, 4, 5 (on Friday) and in weeks 6 and 8 (Thursday) there is also a data lab. The slides (in English) will follow the Swedish language slides of the previous years prepared by David Bolin. The slides and the program below will be updated gradually at chalmersuniversity.app.box . If you find any mistakes or something is unclear, you can tell me in the chat here on Canvas.
Lectures
All lectures in a single pdf without pauses.
