I have uploaded the oral exam questions (with solutions) from last year (2022) in the google drive. As you can see, these are mostly concept questions for all the topics we covered during the lectures, and many are already included in the homework assignment already.
I will do the visit to the exam room today around 4 pm to answer possible questions from you.
Good luck!

This Friday (Oct. 27) we will have a guest lecture from Tim Zimmermann, PhD fellow working on axion dark matter modeling and structure formation. His lecture title is "Ultralight Axion Dark Matter: Phenomena beyond Gravitational Clustering". Tim will give you a much more up-to-date account on the exciting advancement on axion dark matter. If you are interested in dark matter and the research frontier on this topic, this lecture is not to be missed!
The lecture will be starting from 12:15 as usual, and last about 45 min - 1 hour.
The oral presentation is scheduled on November 14, 15 and 17, during the usual lecture and group session times. Some suggestions of topics is uploaded in the google drive, but you can also downloaded here. The evaluation criteria is also in the same folder, and can be seen here.
Please let me know immediately if the date/time doesn't work for you. Thanks!

This week we will have the group session on Tuesday (tomorrow) 12:15 to 14:00, and the lecture on Wednesday 14:15 to 16:00. The lecture on Friday remains unchanged. My apologies for the late notice. This is due to a meeting that I must attend on Tuesday which will overlap with the lecture time.

I have uploaded the homework assignment in the shared google drive, and it can also be downloaded here. Note that you need to finish at least 60% to be able to attend the final exam. We will not publish solutions for this assignment. Please consider this as a practice exam and try to go through as many exercises as you can.
Good luck!

For next week, we will swap the time slots for the lecture on Tuesday (September 12) with the group session on Wednesday, (Sep. 13.). And the lecture on Friday (Sep. 15) is also replaced by a group session. In brief, we will have the lecture on Wednesday, and group sessions on Tuesday and Friday.
The week after we will have lectures on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday (Sep. 19, 20, 22).

Dear all,
I have uploaded the numerical project into the google drive now. And in case you cannot access it, it can also be downloaded here.
Next week the lectures on Tuesday and Friday will be replaced by group sessions, so there will be 3 group sessions. The group teacher will introduce the simulation codes, analysis tools and help you to start the project.
Good luck!
