Exercise sessions, with a teaching assistant, allow to apply notions seen in the lecture and to prepare the exam. The list of exercises are available on Webcampus.
The content of the exam will be specified at the end of the quadrimester. The lecture is evaluated through a written exam. The student will answer theoretical (about 25% of the exam) and exercises (about 75% of the exam) questions, during about 2h30-3h.
