Dear Mr. Garcke, my name is Jan Jendrysiak, I am a master student in mathematics, mtr. nr. 3151680, and I am very intersted in participating in your practical programming lab on machine learning. My friends Jendrik Stelzner and Berthold Lorke would also like to participate (and have hopefully sent you an e-mail already) and we would like to work on the problems together if possible. I hope this helps you with the organization - should there not be any work be done in groups you may disregard this last information. If you need any other information from me for the participation of the course, please let me know. Best regards, Jan Jendrysiak
