Classroom lectures and exercises.Attendance
Not mandatory but suggested.Type of evaluation
The exam consists of two steps. In the written part the student is asked to solve two exercises and one or more theoretical questions. The oral part consists of one or more questions on the written part and/or theoretical questions. The texts of the exams of the last years are available on the web page of the course (http://pacciarelli.dia.uniroma3.it/CORSI/MSP/Welcome.html ).
