Weekly update October 9-13

Hi all, this week's update wth ditto plans will be short!

First a message, due to midterms there is no lecture on Friday (the auditorium has been reserved for high-school students without me being informed!!). We have however a regular lecture tomorrow and the lab runs as normal from 10am-6pm (10-18).

Thus, lecture tomorrow 8-10am, no lecture on Friday and lab as normal. 

At the lab we will continue our work on project 3 and discuss object orientation and technicalities about the project.

 

The lecture tomorrow covers numerical integration with an emphasis on gaussian quadrature. This will serve as our motivation for starting the discussion on Monte carlo methods next week. Then we will start with Monte Carlo integration and move to Monte carlo simulations of different systems. The Monte Carlo series of lectures will keep us busy for almost a month (4-5 weeks of lectures).  Thereafter we end the semester discussing partial differential equations. .

 

The material on numerical integration can be found in chapter 5 of the lecture notes. And under the integration slides.

 

best wishes to you all,

Morten
