Laboratory WorkThe laboratory work consists of homework and computer experiments carried out by groups of no more than two students. Each group hands in a report on each assignment in the NADA mailbox outside the Students' expedition (NOT the instructors' mail stops !), according to the schedule below. Attach a cover page properly filled in. It can be downloaded here or fetched at the Student Expedition. We strongly prefer paper hand-ins, the Swedish post office can be relied upon for those unable to attend in person. Instructors will be available every week at the questioning hours given below for help with homework etc. Homework is handed back in the Student Expedition.The NADA computers are available for computer work. Terminals are booked for this course as shown in the schedule. Moreover, you can work on your own. For that, you can borrow CD-ROMs with Matlab and Comsol Multiphysics at the KTH library. You will need a NADA account. Sign the name list sent round and after a few days go to the help desk (Osquars B. 2, ground floor, open weekdays 10-12 and 13-15 (except for Friday)) Delfi to obtain an account. Discussions of homework and assignments with your fellow students are encouraged. We hope that those of you who are more experienced in some theoretical aspect, or in the use of computers, will give advice to others. The assignment reports should be clearly written and easy to read for the grader. If you use a computer, you must edit the output and write a descriptive summary. Mere sheaves of computer plots and printed output will not be accepted. Here are some guidelines how a report should be prepared. A good example of a nice report can be found here. The table below shows the homework and computer assignments. There will be a link to a table of status and results of homework handed in. The "score" indicates the amount of credit for a passed report. You may infer from this our estimate of the amount of work necessary. Incomplete reports may - at the discretion of the grader - be completed for more credits, usually with a deadline of a few days. Due week x means due Sunday evening week x.

Questioning HoursThe instructors will be available for questions at the following times during weeks 36-50.Jelena Popovic: Thursday, 9-10. Jon Häggblad: Friday, 15-16. Credits for HomeworkA list of the accumulated credits is found hereExamsThe examination paper will be written with closed books. It will be based on the list of questions and typical problems handed out during the course.To pass the laboratory work requires 20 credits from the homework assignments. More details about the course requirements and grading will be announced soon.
Here are some examples:
The NADA Terminal RoomsThe student union magnetic card gives access to the NADA terminal rooms around the clock, but daytime they are often booked for other courses.Work on your own computerIf you have a computer and an internet connection you can access the NADA network from home. Information is found here.Student's commentsThe course will be evaluated at the end when you will be asked to fill in a standard course evaluation form, but any comments along the way are most welcome !
