If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 4.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• TEN2 - Examination, 4.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Passed exams:
TEN1,  (4 Cr,  Linear algebra,  written exam), grading: A/B/C/D/E/Fx/F
TEN2,  ( 4 Cr,  Calculus, written exam), grading: A/B/C/D/E/Fx/F

Passed lab work
LAB1,  (2 Cr.), grading: P/F
One of the following mathematical software packages will be used: Matlab, Mathematica or Maple.
