News: The first exam date had to be changed due to an error in my calendar scheduling (mea culpa)! Pay attention to te registration of the exam for August 15+18 (see below)!

Exam:

Oral exams will be held on August 15+18 and October 31.

IMPORTANT: Please register with our secretary Mrs. Gerber (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., room 36/430) until July 25 noon (after that she is on vacation until August 15).
For the dates of August 15+18: should your registration be later than July 25, then send an email to Prof. Schmitt (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and we can still accommodate an exam according to your needs, but as he is also on vacation and has only irregular email access allow some time budget for the response.
