Module Code	MAU23206/MAU33206
Module Title	Calculus on manifolds
Semester taught	Semester 2
ECTS Credits	5
Module Lecturer	Prof. Florian Naef
Module Prerequisites	MAU23203 Analysis in several real variables

This module is examined in a 2-hour examination at the end of Semester 2.
Continuous assessment contributes 20% towards the overall mark.
The module is passed if the overall mark for the module is 40% or more. If the overall mark for the module is less than 40% and there is no possibility of compensation, the module will be reassessed as follows:
1) A failed exam in combination with passed continuous assessment will be reassessed by an exam in the supplemental session;
2) The combination of a failed exam and failed continuous assessment is reassessed by the supplemental exam;
3) A failed continuous assessment in combination with a passed exam will be reassessed by one or more summer assignments in advance of the supplemental session.

This module is examined in a 2-hour examination at the end of Semester 2.
Continuous assessment contributes 10% towards the overall mark.
Any failed components are reassessed, if necessary, by an exam in the reassessment session.

11 weeks of teaching with 3 lectures per week.
