Suggested study plan (for approximately 14 weeks)
Besides reading the above book parts, we suggest that you
do most of the corresponding odd-numbered exercises.
Solutions to those exercises can be found at the back of the
books.
Some old exams - Math II
The solutions are provided only in German and for the larger Math I and II exam.
Note that the course contents have been adjusted over the years;
in particular, partial differential equations are no longer part of this course.
