The reference to the lecture notes in the solution should be to section 7.5, not 4.5. 

Since this is a major change from previous years, I should emphasise that the only item of aid you are allowed to bring to the final exam is two A4 sheets of notes (single-sided) or one A4 sheet of notes (double-sided). So no calculator, no mathematical tables, no tables of constants, absolutely nothing but your notes. 

Mattia and I have agreed on the final scores on project 2. You will get more feedback in devilry tomorrow (I have to rush to a meeting), but for now here are the scores:

Candidate number             Score

---------------------------------------------

15001                                  100

15002                                    94

15003                           &nbsp...

I finished the last part of the curriculum in today's lecture. Tomorrow, May 16, there will be no lecture. Next week, the lectures on Monday and Tuesday will be used for exam preparations. Think about what you think would be useful to do with those lectures and drop me a line.

It seems that it is not possible to hand in multiple files in devilry. I will find out whether it is possible to work around this, but if I can't find a solution it is of course perfectly acceptable to hand in a single file with a listing of your program included. 

Mattia is away this week, and I use the opportunity to cover some new material. I will start talking about inflation, introducing the flatness and horizon problems. The exercises scheduled for this day will be discussed on Friday the 28th.

Your scores on the first project should now be available to you in devilry. As a general comment, all of you did well, and many of you did extremely well. I am very happy.

You have been given points, not a grade. These points will be combined with your score on the next project (coming soon) and the final exam, and it will contribute 20 percent to your final score and grade. So if you got, say, 90 points on this project, you have now secured 18 of the maximum 100 final points.

If you want to know what grade you score corresponds to, a very rough guide is the following:

92-100 points: A

85-91 points: B

60-84 points: C

45-59 points: D

40-44 points: E

0-39 points: F

I wish you all a relaxing Easter break and look forward to seeing you again on Friday April 21!

The virus that attacked me and I apologize for my absence the last couple of  weeks. I am back at work now, so the lectures will according to schedule this week. To make up for some of the lost time, the exercise session on Friday April 7th will be replaced by a lecture.

Due to illness, the lecture today (28 March) is cancelled.

The lecturer is ill. 

The deliverables from your project should be handed in using Devilry.

You log in with your UiO user name and password, and the delivery process should be fairly straightforward. The system has been set up so that I will only see candidate numbers.

If you have any problems with this system, let me know ASAP.

The paper I mentioned in Tuesday's lecture can be found here. Be happy that you study cosmology now, and not billions of years into the future!
