Welcome! Some practical info

Dear all,

Welcome to this course on computational physics -- we look forward to meeting you all! Here's some practical info:

• There are four hours of lectures and two hours of lab session per week.
• There are five obligatory assignments in the course: Two problem sets (must be passed), and then three projects (each counting 1/3 of the final grade). For simplicity we will refer to these five assignments simply as "project 1" to "project 5", even though only projects 3--5 are projects in the true sense of the word.
• Lectures are Thursday 08:15--10:00 and Friday 08:15--10:00, in Store fysiske auditorium.
• All lectures will be recorded and made available (to registered students) on these web pages -- check the schedule page for the link to a given lecture recording. Hopefully the videos will be ready later the same day as the lecture.
• The times and places for the lab sessions are:
  • Thursday, 10:15--12:00, room ?434
  • Thursday, 12:15--14:00, room ?397
  • Thursday, 14:15--16:00, room ?397
  • Thursday, 16:15--18:00, Zoom
  • Friday, 10:15--12:00, room ?397 + Zoom
  • Friday, 12:15--14:00, room ?397
• You should be assigned to a given lab number on Canvas. Note: the lab sessions are not numbered chronologically -- check the schedule page for the time for your lab number. However, as long as there is space, you are free to choose a different lab session if that works better for you and those you collaborate with.
• For those who can, we recommend joining one of the physical lab sessions.
• We are building a dedicated web page for this course. This page is where we will post all projects, technical tutorials, code snippets, links to online resources, etc. The page is in active development -- we will gradually add more material as the course progresses.

We hope you will enjoy the course!
