An example of how to make slides with latex using the beamer style (you may need to install it on your laptop, search for beamer at sourceforge.net) is placed under the link below. You produce a pdf-file by running pdflatex and the name of the file.

Please check the exam schedule and let us know if something is wrong.

Final version of lecture notes for fall 2007 is now available under the lecture notes link. Chapters 12-15 have been lightly updated. For chapters 1-11, only minor typographical errors that I spotted have been corrected. There is no need to print new versions of these chapters.

There was a small deallocation bug in vmc\atoms.cpp, the array cumulative\e was deallocated two times instead of once. This has been fixed. There have also been problems with MPI due to upgrades of Redhat from Redhat 4 to Redhat 5. Redhat 5 uses python2.4 instead of python2.3, which was used to set up our parallel cluster. Our system managers are trying to fix this problem.

Project 4 is now available. The deadline is set to november 12. It will be discussed during the lecture of monday the 22nd october.
