More precise information per implementation

  Description Methods of instruction Implementation
Implementation 1 This is a parallel implementation of the Finnish language course MAT-45800. The course concentrates on mathematical concepts and tools behind the positioning and navigation algorithms, which are meant to be applied on the follow-up course TKT-2540. The course is lectured in Finnish, but the course notes are available also in English for self-study. The exercise sessions and exam will be held in English if needed.   Excercises
