As decided during the last lecture, I will distribute the material for the lecture via e-mail. Please let me know your e-mail address in case I don't have it already.

To make up for the last lecture, we will start s.t. and end s.t. (i.e. do a full 2 hours of lecture) for the next 3 weeks to cover as much ground as possible before you start with your assignments.
