The exam consists of three parts (like Gaul according to Julius Caesar), to be taken in the following order.
1. There will be a written examination, consisting in solving one exercise out of three provided.
2. Each student will then have to give a seminar, to be chosen in a list. (The function students -> seminar topics has to be injective, on a first come, first served basis.)
3. At the end, there will be a (brief) oral examination.
