General

NOTE: Please see the course web page for more information (incl. the lecture slides, homework problems etc.)

In addition, you can take a look at the previous years' courses:

  • 2012 (lectured by Jyrki Kivinen)
  • 2009 (lectured by Teemu Roos)

This year's course will mostly follow the same structure and cover the same material but we'll have 1 cu worth more MDL.
