We have now finished the grading. The final results include a per-problem point break-down, which you can compare to to the solutions with detailed grading instructions. Do contact us if you have questions about these grading instructions (and can't connect them to the points that you ended up getting)!
Have a good summer, everyone!
On June 4th, during the ordinary lecture time slot, we will have a final Q&A session before the exam (same zoom link as always). So don't miss this! :)
And just to add the obvious: the more you have already prepared for the exam, and prepared questions, the more you'll get out of this...
The faculty has compiled a rather detailed explanation about what is and what is not allowed for a home exam. Most of this should be self-evident, but obviously it is better to be explicit about these things...
Here you can find the mandatory cover page of the exam, spelling this out, along with the first part of the first exam page where I provide some additional information. Make sure you read, and understand, all of this well before the exam -- and let me (or Jake) know if anything is unclear!
I just put out the final lecture set -- welcome to everyone who has made it this far in this course!! Since attendance during the two discussion sessions was low, lecture 29 will be discussed on May 18 (no discussion session on May 14!) and the final one (#30) only on May 21.
There are also no further problem sets, the last one (#15) will be discussed this week during the usual slot (on May 12).
Hi all
Remember there is no formal help session tomorrow, and that problem set 10 is due next week, April the 6th, for discussion on the 7th.
If anyone would like to talk about the problem set tomorrow, email me to let me know. Otherwise, enjoy the extra week to work on the problems. (You can always ask questions on Piazza, of course).
The problem sets you've handed in will be given back to you this week - just working through the backlog!
Have a good Easter break!

Today's (March 23) lecture discussion is cancelled to allow following Anders' talk. This means that I will put out the next lecture set after the discussion session on Friday, to be discussed on March 30. The next lecture discussion after that will then be only after Easter, on April 9.
The next problem set will be put out tomorrow, as usual, but only discussed on April 7 -- i.e. two weeks later.
will both be discussed in the session on Friday (19/03). Seems that today most people were, quite understandably, busy getting their stuff out of campus...
We have covered very roughly half of the course content now -- so it's a good timing to get some feedback. Any type of comments are highly welcome, both about the course so far and wishes about how to potentially adapt the format of lecture discussions or group exercises in the second part (not the least now that everything is fully back to digital). Feel free to comment during our discussion session (today), in the online forum or by email -- either individually or collectively.
I just learned from the media (...) that the UiO campus is closed for students again. So starting from today (16/03), the lecture discussions will be online again (same link as before).
As already pointed out on Friday, the new regulations seem to allow teaching with physical presence for small groups like ours - and this doesn't seem to have changed with the announcement from the press conference tonight.
I will continue to put out videos (and slides), but the additional lecture discussions will take place physically this week (w 9); for next week we can assess whether it is better to continue like that or fully digital.
NB: Remember to prepare general questions about differential geometry for Tuesday: this is the last lecture on differential geometry, so it's a good time for a break and general Q&A round!
The lectures put out today (No 11, about curvature) will be discussed on Friday February 26. Next Tuesday (23/02) there is thus no discussion session.
Hi everyone!
Group sessions start this week. They'll be every Wednesday at 12:15 pm.
The Zoom link is here. This link will remain the same throughout the semester.
This week we'll discuss any questions you may have about problem s...
We have talked in some detail about the lecture format today (15/01), so I just add here the notes that I took during that zoom meeting.
In the meantime, I was also pleased to be notified that the "Academy of alchemy & astrology" apparently offers a course with 100% overlapping content. Not being bound by GDPR, they even run a PIAZZA page! They seem to be happy with us using this, so here is the signup link. (But do consider whether you want, for privacy reasons, to generate a new email address/login for the sole purpose of joining that forum...)
The first set of lectures is out! There will always be videos as well as a blackboard-style pdf version. Please make sure to study the content of these lectures continuously and in time. Recall that it is not sufficient to just watch the videos; it is just as important to discuss the content in small study groups as well as in the 'official lecture slots' on Tuesday and Friday. Note that these latter discussions will take place physically as soon as the covid-regime allows this.
The course starts on Friday, January 15, with an introductionary lecture -- mostly explaining how the course is set up, its 'rules' and what will be covered. As everything these days this will happen on zoom, and the link for that will stay the same throughout the term.
Before that, you should by all means try to fresh up your knowledge from previous courses!
Starting from week 3, lectures will typically be on Tuesdays at 12.15pm and on Fridays at 10.15am, while exercise classes will typically be on Wednesdays, at 12.15pm. All these events would take place in the Kristian Birkeland auditorium (?157) - and will, as soon as things get closer to being normal again - ...
