Teaching Methods
Theory: 14 plenary classes of 2h each, in which the understanding of the concepts is of more importance than proofs and mathematical correctness.
Practice: 14 classes of 2h each, designed to help to master the techniques introduced in the theory classes and to apply them in a number of practical situations.
Assessment
closed book written examination
