Advanced Finite Element Methods (Module: MA 4303)

Organisatorial

Lecture	Prof. Dr. B. Wohlmuth Tue. 16:00-17:30 in MI HS 3
Office hours	Prof. Dr. Barbara Wohlmuth, Tuesday after the lecture Tutors, by arrangement (email)
Exercises	Thomas Horger, Dr. Christian Waluga Friday, 12:15 - 13:45 in 02.08.011 every two weeks
Tutorial "Implementation of PDEs"	For interested students, additional training for the implementation of the methods treated in the lecture can be offered. This possibility will be discussed in the first weeks of the semester.

Apart from 4 pages (2 sheets) handwritten notes, no further auxiliary material for the exam is allowed.
The exam will take place Monday, 5th August at 10:00 in room MI HS 2.
Due to Pfingstdienstag, we shift our tutor group by one week. We have sent you an e-mail with the remaining dates.
Prerequisite: The lecture "Numerics of Differential Equations" (Module: MA 3301).
The first tutor groups is planned to be held on Friday, April 26.
The current exercise sheets will be available every second week in the lecture as well as online.
We distribute solutions to the homework when the next sheet is available. The in-class exercises will be solved during the exercise - the solution will not be available online.
Please notice that dates and room numbers are subject to change.
Please register for one of the exercise groups via TUM-Online.

Apart from 4 pages (2 sheets) handwritten notes, no further auxiliary material is allowed.
The exam will take place Monday, 5th August at 10:00 in room MI HS 2.
An exam will take place at the end of the term. The exam can be repeated before the next winter term.
A mark of at least 4.0 is required to pass the exam.
Dates and location of the exams will be communicated via TUM-Online and the web page.
A bonus for the exam can be obtained from the exercises (see next section)

80% of homework credits is required to obtain an extra bonus for the final exam
Homework credits are awarded if the tutors conclude that
- 1) the students put serious effort in the solution of the exercise
- 2) the solution catches the main mathematical ideas of the exercise
The bonus improves the final mark by one step, f.e. from 2.3 to 2.0
The mark 1.0 can not be further improved
The bonus is only applied, if the exam is passed without! That is, it does not improve the marks 4.3, 4.7 or 5.0
Students should keep their homeworks to prove their eligibility for the exam bonus
One student can submit his or her homework together with up to two other students
