The exam is divided into three parts:
-a written test consisting in three to five exercises covering the main topics studied in the course, which will test the ability of students in applying the computational techniques learned in class;
-a second written test covering the theoretical aspects of the course, and consisting in giving statements and proofs of a few theorems seen in class, which will test the understanding of the underlying theory and the ability to produce rigorous proofs, possibly of simple statements similar to but different from those seen in class, and to express themselves in correct mathematical language;
- an oral part, which follows immediately the second written test, consisting in the discussion of the two written tests, where the ability of express themselves in correct mathematical language, and to independently recognize the validity of mathematical reasoning will be assessed.

Each part will be evaluated with a grade in the range 0 to 30, and the final grade will be the average, if greater than or equal to 18, of the grades of the three parts. Access to the second part of the exam is conditioned to having obtained at least 14/30 in the first part.
