  • Exercise sessions

    In order to discuss the material presented on Wednesday and Thursday, we plan an exercise session at the end of each day. To make it possible to have a fruitful discussion, each speaker of the day should think of one or two questions or examples, that are worth to talk about. The emphasis should lie on illustrating basic questions and examples, that help to improve the understanding of the theory. Please do not intend to take the opportunity to present more material.
