Note

Please note: the exam is on the syllabus ("programma") above and its topics. It is not on a "book". This means that you need to be familiar with and learn the substance of the various topics. To do this, attendance is highly recommended. As a matter of fact, attending students on average perform much better than non-attending ones. Class attendance should be combined with the study of a textbook and the materials indicated in class and/or uploaded in the course's Moodle section.
