• How many (the number of students you expect to be using the labs)

Students from other departments will need to get a computer account before they can use our lab. If your course has non-IMF students, please collect a list of all these students' user names and send to drift [at] stud [dot] math [dot] ntnu [dot] no before the first lab exercise.

Students that haven't got a NTNU user name yet, must first obtain this from Orakeltjenesten before we can create a user account for them.
