Summary

Up till now extensive scripts, slides, exercises and
solutions are disseminated in html or pdf-format via
the internet
-> We are very much interested in the exchange of
online course materials with other sites
-> We are interested in a cooperation in order to
provide advanced materials on a common ELearning platform
