      Most of the points in this course come from Research Assignments which are made by Research Groups.

      Materials for the Research Assignment 1 are available now (Saturday 20.1.2024).

      Calculation exercises (starting on Friday) are voluntary sessions during which you can practice your skills in calculations.
      We will use Mathcad as the calculation tool in a) exercises and in b) Research Assignments.
      Materials available for the 1st session. Equation collection and Template 1.

      Mathcad Instructions:

      Mathcad should be available in Aalto's workstations (also remotely), check course's Calculation exercises (later) page for instructions.
