Programming

Every two weeks the homework will contain a programming exercise. We are going to use the computer algebra system SINGULAR. On the SINGULAR homepage you can find a manual and examples for the code. You can download and install SINGULAR on every operating system like OS X, Windows, Linux, but you can also use the preinstalled version on the computers, which you can find in the math department. In order to see how SINGULAR works you can have a look at these examples. We will also give a short introduction in the first example class on April 24. During the course of the semester we will create a SINGULAR library. You can download the template here. Here you can find a SINGULAR library with solutions to the programming exercises.

In order to obtain an Übungsschein you need to actively participate in the tutorial and achieve a total homework score of at least 50%. Active participation means regular attendance and presenting a solution of a homework problem (at least once).

For credit points you need to pass an oral exam after the end of the semester.
