The final exam is held on Monday May 27^th. Instructions and time slots are available here.

You can get assistance with preparing the presentation during the help desk session on Wednesday May 22^nd.

The project must be submitted electronically using Inspera. The system is now open for submissions with deadline May 16^th at 14:30. Upload the project as a single PDF that includes the official front page. Code generated in the project can be submitted either as part of the appendix or linked via GitHub.

Before the submission deadline, there are two help desk sessions on May 8^th and 15^th. There you can drop in and get help with LaTeX, citations, reference lists, sentence structure and any other writing issues you may have.

There is also a session on May 22^nd where you can get help preparing your exam presentation.

The official front page that you must use for the final project is now posted. Extract the zip into the same folder as your tex file and follow the attached instructions.

There are two parts. The written text due February 14th, and the oral presentation.

In the written part focus on the LaTeX-technical skills. The main purpose of this assignment is to see that you have LaTeX-skills to write the report, and that you build the framework for writing the report. The text of the paragraphs can be edited later.

At the oral presentation, you should focus on presenting your current understanding of the project, and show early results if any (e.g. outline which analysis you will use and show simple plots of the data). We want to see a consistent meaningful story told.

I have sent all of you an e-mail on your student e-mail address with exact time and place for your oral presentation. Please read and confirm this e-mail.

Remember that your presentation is expected to last 5-8 minutes and that you will get feedback from the group.

The list of project-student pairings are now available here. Student should contact assigned supervisor on Monday. If you can not make contact, send an e-mail to Odd Kolbjørnsen <oddkol@math.uio.no> or to Gudmund Hermansen <gudmunhh@math.uio.no>. 

As we are a bit behind on the start in the course, you will not be getting feedback on text until the 12th. But you will start writing the text the 5th. Be sure to get started with LaTeX this day. 

The list of project-student pairings will be available on the web page later today.

All students should send a prioritised list of projects (1, 2 and 3) to Gudmund Hermansen (gudmunhh@math.uio.no) before Friday February 1^st (unless you have already done this). 

29 January you may join the exercise session in VB Seminar room 123 after the project presentations in NHA UE26. For this session you must bring a laptop and preferably a printed copy of the article The Golden String, Zeckendorf Representations, and the Sum of a Series by Martin Griffiths.

The first LaTeX resources are now posted. You must compile the LaTeX introduction yourself, and you should switch between reading the source code and the compiled PDF.

The template for small documents is suitable for both the mandatory assignment and the final project.

The template for large documents is too excessive for this course. The idea is that you can return to this page when you start writing your master's thesis.

Note that the the exercise lesson (for STK-MAT2011) on Tuesday 22 is moved to Tuesday 29. On Tuesday 29, you will choose a project and have the opportunity to ask questions. 

Projects will be posted as soon as we receive these from supervisors and external partners; you should look at these before the lesson on Tuesday 29. Note that all external projects will also have an internal supervisor.

If you do not have the opportunity to attend this lesson, you have to send your prioritised list of projects (1, 2, and 3) to Gudmund Hermansen (gudmunhh@math.uio.no) before Tuesday 29. 

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.
