Aspects for ERM Students

Several thoughts are worth noting:

First of all, you are very welcome to submit a proposal for the workshop. For the kind of questions which the workshop poses the library has some (of the most) relevant books. Check this list of books.

Second, you might be interested in getting credit points for participating in the workshop. If this is the case, contact Ingmar Lippert (lippert /at/ sts.tugraz.at) or the Board of Students.
