- The exam was quite different from the lectures. A lot of the focus in the theory part was on memorizing equations, which doesn"t feel very useful. I would prefer more focus on the theory behind. In that case, you should also be allowed to bring a few pages with notes or a short summary, so you don"t have to memorize all equations. The calculation exercises were quite good though.» (To some extent)

- I did not learn anything. This course was a total waste of my time. » (Poor)
- The teacher knows his subject very well. The focus of the course is at mathematics and by-heart-knowing of rather many equations and formulas. Focus on remembering equations by heart instead of understanding them does not belong in higher education.» (Poor)
- The course had a little too much focus on mathematics. Sometimes it was hard to see the physics behind. Most chapters felt as if they were a very long mathematical derivation, which in the end resulted in some physics. I would have liked to have more focus on the actual physics.» (Adequate)

20. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- Nothing. You should remake the course TOTALLY!»
- -The labs (computer and experimental). -Christophe as lecturer.»
- The compendium and the experimental lab.»
- The labs»
- Christophe and Cheng. Christophe was one of the best teachers I have ever had. »
- The overall layout of the course, the personell»
- The compendium is rather good, although much could be explained more.»

21. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- Everything. I was very disappointed.»
- More focus on physics.»
- Maybe focusing a little less on remembering equations and instead turn more attention to how the equations can be applied, e.g. more calculation exercises.»
- It would be better if the examination was in the form of 5-7 mandatory assignments instead of an exam. This would give both a better understanding of the calculations and equations in the ourse. »
- If possible, change so that there is not 4 hours of lectures in a row. 2 hours of lectures followed by 2 hours of excersices worked well though.»
- The focus of the course.»

24. Additional comments

- A mathematics course should NOT be mandatory for a masters program. »
- In general a very good course on an interesting topic. However, more time should be spent on the physics instead of the mathematics.»
- Great course!»
- Very nice course. One of the most interesting I have read at Chalmers so far.»
