Before the first interactive lecture of the week, we had to prepare this self-study assignment about the mandatory literature. My answers to the questions are in bold, and the comments from the lecturer are in italics. Not all answers were elaborated on in the lecture itself, but when it was, I made it green when it was correct. Hopefully you can use this as an extension of your own ideas about the literature!
