Note:

We will give feedback for projects till the beginning of February; the projects have to be handed in till March.
Deadline for handing in exercise sheets is till the end of the second week of February.
We roughly follow the first eight chapters of the book "A biologists guide to mathematical modeling" by Otto and Day.
Predrawn blackboard pictures can differ from what was actually shown in the lecture!
In the second week of January the oral exams will be held.
