As course material, there is a 80 pages course, plus slides, plus some copies from other books. During the year, two exercises are given. You have to send in the answers in form of a paper before Newyear. The examination is personal: the professor prepares different questions about everyone's paper, which you can prepare and then you have to defend your paper during the oral part of the examination.
