Writing assignment:

I assume you will take the obligatory English exam at the end of this semester. For the oral part of the obligatory English exam you will need to have 30 pages of specialized text and be able to answer the examiner's questions about it.

To help you in this, instead of the usual essay, I would like you to obtain those 30 pages now and write a half page summary of what it's about and a half page of your opinion on it.

It should be a text from your field, either mathematics, physics or computer science/informatics. It should be a college-level academic text (not "Algebra for Dummies", for example).

Under normal circumstances I would ask you to provide a book, which seems easier to me than photocopying 30 pages. However, under the present circumstances it looks like you will need an electronic version of the text for the obligatory English exam. For the purposes of this assignment, however, it is not necessary to show me the text. It will suffice to tell me the title, author(s) and year of publication (e.g. Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday & Resnick, 2nd edition, 1984).

Please note: if you choose a text for this assignment and then for the exam decide you want to use a different text, no problem. This assignment only relates to this course.
