Semesterside for FYS4160 - V?r 2025

Fagl?rere

After Easter we will start directly with the discussion of gravitational waves. I will unfortunately not be able to make it for the first lecture, on April 22, so I just uploaded a lecture video instead. There are also 'slides' in case you want to skip the video or recap.

NB: On Wednesday, April 23, I will continue by assuming that you have all watched these lectures! (But of course there will still be opportunities for questions at the beginning, as usual)

In this course we will use UiO Discourse (or AstroDiscourse) for communicating outside of lecture / group exercise hours. So please take a look at the detailed guide here if you haven't used this tool before. Look for `fys4160-25v' once you have logged into the platform (with your standard student login).

In general, this kind of tool is really useful once one gets above a critical level of usage. So use it actively to ask and discuss any questions you may have!

I just put out a set of exercises to fresh up your hands-on experience with index notation -- which can be a nice thing to do for those of you who already want to start going a bit. These exercises will be discussed, along with any other questions or comments that you may have about the required background material, during the first group exercise session on 23/01.
(Note hence that we start with the group exercises already during the first lecture week, unlike what is stated in the course plan on the semester page)
