Aims, contents and method of the course
Focus: Theory of geometry of space, time and matter. These are tutorials associated with the lecture course.
Assessment and permitted materials
The PUE is a course with continuous assessment and serves to prepare for the module examination. Registration for the PUE is not mandatory, but is recommended.
Note: Participation is binding when you register for the PUE.
You can deregister from this course yourself until October 21, 2022, 11:59 p.m.
Without exception, all students registered after this deadline can take part in the PUE and will be graded according to the assessment criteria of the PUE.
The grade of the PUE is NOT included in the grade of the module examination.
The proof of performance required for the module (VO + PUE) is provided by completing the module examination

Aims, contents and method of the course
Lorentz transformations, geometry of Minkowski spacetime, relativistic effects, relativistic kinematics, relativistic field theory, basics of general relativity.
Assessment and permitted materials
We expect to cover three or four problems in each class, with the problems to be covered announced about one week before the relevant class. The students are expected to cross exercises they have prepared and are willing to present ahead of time.During the tutorials, students will be called to the blackboard on a random basis. The accuracy and completeness of the solution, the understanding of the subject, as well as the clarity and intelligibility of the presentation will be assessed.Grading:
One can obtain up to 10 points for crosses and up to 10 points for the blackboard presentations.The final result being translated to marks as follows:
<= 9.5 points: 5
10 − 11.5 points: 4
12 − 13.5 points: 3
14 − 16 points: 2
16.5 − 20 points: 1The PUE is an exam-intensive course and serves the purpose of preparation for the module exam.Registration for the PUE is not mandatory, but is highly recommended. Note that participation becomes compulsory after registering for the PUE. A deregistration from this course is possible until Thu 31.10.2019 23:59. All students still registered after this deadline will obtain a grade according to the assessment criteria of the PUE.The grade of the PUE is NOT included in the grade of the module exam.The performance for the modul (VO+PUE) is determined by the outcome of the (final) examination of the module.
