Individual time and location for the final exam in FYS4160 is available in StudentWeb. Questions regarding the schedule or registration should be sent to studieinfo@fys.uio.no.

The last group session this year is this week on Thursday the 16th of May.   I will do my best to prepare you for the exam.

The new time for the group sessions will be 8 am on thursdays.  However, as this has not been through the whole process with the administration, there will be a session on monday the 8th.

You may look at these problems for next week:

7.1 Lorentz transformation of perfect fluid

7.2 Geodesic equation and constants of motion

There will be no lecture on tuesday the 26th of March, the lectures will resume the first tuesday after Easter.

Week 11:

5.6 Geodetic curves in space

6.2 A non-Cartesian coordinate system in two dimensions

Week 10:

8.1 The curvature tensor of a sphere

The last problem of the mandatory exercises has been updated. Also, a doodle has been distributed to your e-mail addresses in order to decide on a new time for the group sessions. If you do take the course but have not received the e-mail, please contact me at ola.liabotro@fys.uio.no.
