The lecture today was cancelled (too many with mid-term exams). This means that we will continue with contour integrals on Monday next week (Sections 4.2 and 4.3).

PS! The mandatory assignments will be corrected by Monday, October 4.
The exercises session on Thursdays will be moved back to "Auditorium 3". In addition, the format of these sessions will change a bit. They will now take the form of study sessions in which you can do exercises and ask individual questions to the instructor. Students experiencing difficulty in understanding the course material / exercises should particularly make an effort to attend such study sessions to have questions answered.
Some of the exercises will be solved on the blackboard. Send requests to the instructor (amandip.s.sangha[at]gmail.com) regarding which exercises you would like see solved in class.
FieldsmedaljevinnerCedric Villani gir torsdag 30. september fra 12.15 til 13.00 et popul?rvitenskapelig foredrag med tittel "Can one predict the fate of the Solar system?" i Sophus Lies auditorium.
