Preliminary information

Welcome to the ILIAS site of the course Linear Electrical Networks (LEN) - We warmly welcome you to the start of studies in the winter semester 2023/24 at KIT!

In theintroductory exerciseon Wednesday, 25.10.2023 at 14:00 (Daimler lecture hall, Geb. 10.21), we will give you an overview of what to expect in the coming months in this course: structure, contents, organizational matters, and more.

We will provide all participants of the event with a script in electronic form free of charge. You can obtain this via the ILIAS page of the event.

The firstexercise for the lecture LENwill take place on 25.10.2023.
