Content
The content of the course will be similar to last year.
All information on this homepage and all handouts in the course will
be in English. Lectures will be given in Swedish if all students can
follow the lectures in Swedish, and otherwise the lectures will be
given in English. Students may hand in homeworks written in either
Swedish or English, but if the lectures are given in English, then
students should be ready to give their oral presentations in English
as well. Thus, international master students can safely plan to
follow this course.
Please note that we will not post any information at KTH
Social. It simply links back to this page.
