Frequently asked questions:

How many of the formulae we need to know off by heart?
You need to know the formula that were needed for the problem sets.
If you are able to do the problem sets without books/lecture notes then you should be ready for the exam.
Is material from Riccardo Bartolini's lecture examinable?
Not directly. However parts of Riccardo Bartolini's lecture clarify content seen elsewhere.
