Date:
The examination takes place on Saturday, 24th April, 2004, from 9am-12pm in Room 42/115.

Contents:
The questions will be concerned with the whole lecture Linear Algebra I.

Type and Number of Questions:
The questions will be similar to the exercises set for the example class. At least one of the questions will be concerned with a SINGULAR procedure.

We will set 9 questions, but you are not supposed to answer all of them. It therefore is not recommendable work linearly through the exercises, but rather to start with those questions which you like.

Allowed Means of Help:
You may bring your own lecture notes, your notes from the example and support classes, any other type of printed lecture notes and books on linear algebra to the examination, and you may consult these throughout the exam. The use of technical equipment like calculators, computers, etc. is not sensible and hence not allowed. I want to stress the fact that the use of printed lecture notes and books can only be helpful if you have worked through them in advance! The hope to find help or even a solution to a question in books which you do not know by heart is a waste of time!

Citation of Results in the Examination:
Any definition, statement and result from the lecture or the exercises (set for the example classes) may be used. In case you want to refer to these in your solution to a question it is recommendable to cite them by their name or number - like, ``by Theorem 10.3'', ``by the definition of the notion 'group' '', or ``as shown in Exercise 38''.

Paper:
Every participant has to bring his own paper. Please make sure that you carry sufficiently many single sheets of paper. You have to answer every question on a separate sheet of paper (never answer two different questions on the same sheet of paper!!!). Every sheet of paper has to bare the following information on its top: your own name, the number of the question answered on this sheet of paper, and the name of your tutor.

Recommendation for your Preparation:
You should know your own hand written lecture notes by heart, so that you can judge which part of your notes might be helpful in answering the questions and where to find those in your notes. Apart from that it might be helpful to ``redo'' those exercises from the example classes which you didn't solve correctly.

Order of the Seatings in the Examination Hall:
Starting with the front row of the lecture hall 42/115 only every second row will be used for sitting, and only every fourth seat in a row.

End of the Examination:
At the end of the examination you will remain seated until your name has been called for bringing your papers to the front of the hall.
