PHY312 Mathematical Methods of Physics I

The course will start with the first lecture on Tue, 15.09.2026, at 13:00.

The lectures will be held in German while the script, exercise sheets, and exercise classes are in English.

The 3-hour written exam will take place on 12.01.2027, see below.

You are required to obtain 50% of all points of the four in-person exercises to pass the module. However, the exercises are not considered for the determination of your grade.

We rely on the lectures notes from previous years by Prof. Signer (with minor adaptations). The lecture notes will be updated weekly on this page.
