In addition to the lectures, there will be optional homework assignments and a mandatory programming exercise.

Programming Exercise
You will have to design and implement different integer programming formulations for a specified optimization problem. Specifications and the framework will be available for download in TISS. You should join in groups of two for this programming exercise and send your results by mail to us (deadlines will be announced).
Final Exam
Dates for the final oral exam will be available in June and also in summer if required. Details will be announced here.
- Each team (w.r.t. the programming exercise) should choose a common date / timeslot for the exercise (unless there are good reasons not to do so).
- You should register for the exam by email (to both of us). In this email please specify who is going to take the exam (you and your partner), the date and constraints regarding the concrete time (as we will try to schedule the exams such that there are not too long breaks for us). For each group of two we will reserve 45 minutes and for a single student we will reserve 30 minutes.
- The concrete location of the exam will be announced to you by mail.
