The color coding corresponds to the expected level of difficulty:
-
Easy.
- The problem is a direct application of the theory in a situation of
practical interest: solutions typically combine text without formulas,
ASCII plots and parameters of the VMARKET applet without any
programming.
-
Moderate.
generally be solved with a short analytical derivation, a discussion
of the result, a plot parametric dependencies.
-
Difficult.
The problem is an extension of the material discussed in the syllabus
and requires a good command of the mathematical language, which can
be expected for university graduates from quantitative fields.
