Computer sessions

The following computer sessions are part of the Body and Soul educational program. This material is not to be used in courses not using the books.

Students can work in pairs with the computer sessions and each of the sessions should take about two hours to complete. Each session contains some theoretical background that students should be familiar with before the session starts, together with a couple of basic questions that should be answered.

Within each session are presented a number of problems that the students should solve during the session. Each session also contains hints on how to solve the problems, and full answers to all problems.

Sessions with a star (*) are not completed, in some cases older material is provided instead.
