Dear all,
The time for the oral exam will be:
- 11 June 2020: from 10:00 to 12:30 and then from 13:00 to 14:30.
- 12 June 2020: from 10:00 to 12:30 and then from 13:00 to 14:30.
The exam will be conducted using Zoom.
Each student will be allocated about 40 minutes, including: about 20 to 25 minutes for presenting project results using Beamer, and about 15 to 20 minutes for answering questions from peers.
The exact time slot for each student will be informed later. The time slots will be chosen randomly.
Students are encouraged to participate in other students's presentations and to ask questions in there.
Dear students,
Per the new regulation by the university (please see the previous message on this website), we will use Zoom (internet meeting app) for all final presentations in this course.
Good health and good luck.
Dear all,
The University of Oslo, and specifically the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, has laid down the following regulations concerning final examinations for this semester: (More details, when available, will be posted at this website.) The one concerning our class is:
For oral exam: The exam is run using Zoom. The grade will be pass/fail, and the limit for passing will be 40% (like E at the regular exam). As usual, more detailed information on completion will be closer to the exam.
Do not hesitate to contact Tuyen, Karoline or Martin if you have any questions regarding the course. Also, keep in touch with your supervisor and fellow students!
Please send LaTeX related questions to latexguru@ub.uio.no. Both Karoline and Martin are recipients of this mailing list.
It is not possible to pick up any physical material from the library. You have access to electronic literature through Oria. If you are unable to find or get access to specific literature, please send an e-mail to realfagsbibl@ub.uio.no.
Dear all students,
As you know, in order to hinder coronavirus, there will be no physical meetings for all classes, including meetings between advisors and students, until further notice. Therefore, it is advised that you contact your advisor to arrange other ways to followup with your project, for example via emails or online meetings (Skype and so on). We understand that this can be inconvenient for you, and hope that you can cope with this, and that the situation will come back to normal soon.
Best regards,
Tuyen
The official front page that you must use for the final project is posted here. Extract the zip into the same folder as your tex file and follow the attached instructions.
Note that the two Overleaf templates for the course already include the front page:
There is no more organised teaching in this course until the help desk sessions in April. In the meantime, you can get help at the oracle sessions:
- 12:15-14:00 on Tuesdays in room 107, Niels Henrik Abels hus,
- 12:15-14:00 on Wednesdays in room 108, Niels Henrik Abels hus.
While the oracles are not familiar with your particular project, they can help you with writing issues and LaTeX.
The mandatory assignment is due February 20th. There was a typo in a former version of the file.
Groups with schedule for the oral presentation can be found in Canvas. Please let me know if you cannot find it.
- Karoline
In the group session on Monday February 10th, you will peer review each other's mandatory assignment draft. Please bring three printed copies of your draft.
NB: The session is moved to room 819 in Niels Henrik Abels hus.
The source file used in today's lecture is now posted with comments. You must compile the LaTeX introduction yourself, and you should switch between reading the source code and the compiled PDF. There are links to online resources at the end of the file.
The mandatory assignment has been published. Remember to discuss the topic of your mandatory assignment with your supervisor.
Due to collision with MAT2250, the lectures have been moved to 10:15-12:00 on Fridays.
In this course, you are required to write the mandatory assignment and the final project using TeX and friends. For that you need a TeX distribution. We recommend TeX Live, which is suitable for Mac, Windows and Linux. You also need an editor.
You can avoid the installation by using an online editor, such as Overleaf.
LaTeX is available on the computers belonging to the Department of Mathematics.
The three project work courses MAT2000, MEK3200 and STK-MAT2011 share common lectures in the beginning of the semester. These are primarily led by Karoline and Martin. In addition, each course has a course leader:
- MAT2000: Tuyen
- MEK3200: Atle
- STK-MAT2011: Gudmund
The course leaders are responsible for pairing students with supervisors, and grading the oral presentation of the mandatory assignment and the final exam.
The first few weeks consist of lectures on generic writing and research skills. The learning outcome of the lectures is tested in a short written mandatory assignment graded by Karoline and Martin, followed by an oral presentation in front of the course leaders.
The majority of the semester is spent working on a project with a supervisor. This culminates in a paper and an oral exam.
