Lecture hall changes

Hello.

Please note that there has been some changes in schedule as we have "upgraded" to bigger lecture halls. There are many students reading the course this year and on the following occasions we can expect students from Stockholm University to join our lectures and swell the ranks by another dozen or so students.

The dates for the lectures that have been changed are:
- Thu Sept 10 (15-17 in Q2)
- Wed Sept 16 (8-10 in B3)
- Tue Sept 22 (8-10 in L1)

These changes will be propagated through the KTH systems soon.
