Mandatory assignment 1 is out

Mandatory assignment 1 is now available here. It is due at 14.30 on Thursday, February 24th. The problems are based on the curriculum up to and including section 3.3, and if you are on track, it should be possible to start working on the problems immediately. (En liten trykkfeil rettet i andre linje av oppgave 2: Q er rettet til O.)

Note that there is a new regime for the mandatory assignments this year. In the new regime you only have one attempt at each assignment and not two as in earlier years. As the purpose of the new regime is to handle the assignments in a more efficient and pedagogical way and not to fail more students, we shall put more emphasis on effort in the grading this year: As long as you have documented that you have made a serious attempt at the majority of the problems, we will pass you. The best way to document that you have tried, is, of course, to solve the problems, but you can also do it by telling us what you have tried and why it failed. We encourage you to discuss, collaborate, and help each other. Do not hesitate to contact the teachers (preferably well in advance of the deadline) if you have problems.
