| 13.10 | Project | 25% of grade whether you take it or not. To take it you must register online (see left menu). The deadline was October 7th. Read carefully the info under 'Modeling Project' in the left menu… |
| 23.09 | Self-study week Mon 26.09. - Fri 30.09. | Read Population Models or chapter on Population Models in compendium. Work on Exercise set 6 (and 5). No lectures – extra problem sessions w 2 assistents: Monday (in K5) and Thursday (in R3) 9-10. Relevant for the exam. |
| 19.09 | Conclusion of lecture 19.09. | Conclusion of the aggregation of Amoebae problem in 19.09. lecture can be found here |
| 08.09 | Lecture note | PDF of complete lecture note, English version, available now. You can download it from itslearning. Norwegian version sold at department office (IMF), and most of these notes are available in English under 'Notes' in the left menu. |
| Krogstads notes and the lectures | The lectures are close to Krogstads note, and both cover (most of) the curriculum. But the notation, emphasis, and some techniques may be (slightly) different. E.g. my proof of Buckingham's pi theorem is more elaborate than in Krogstad, and for scaling I use the technique of "balancing" while Krogstad use "approximations". My and Krogstad's derivations are similar, but not always the same. If you are able to take good notes during my lectures, then these notes correspond to the way I best like to understand this course. |
|
| 28.08 | Learning outcome | See the Course Description. |
| 22.08 | Slides | I will post my summary slides under 'Lectures' in the left menu. I will try to do it before every lecture with a summary. |
Homework problems:
Solving problems is a very important part of the course, part of the curriculum, and relevant for the exam.
If you are serious about learning this course, you have to do these problems.
- Problem sets will be available Thursdays before the problem sessions – or earlier.
- Solutions will be available Mondays after problem sessions.
Other homework:
| 08.09. | Read slides on kidney modeling Read Lin and Segel chapter 8, see online lecture note (about the Kidney model discussed in the lecture) |
| 15.09. | Read Linear stability analysis and agregation of Amoebae Kreyszig (9th edition) chp. 4.3-4.5 (3.3-3-5 in 8th ed.): ODEs w const coeff., phase plane, stability, equilibrium pts, linearization. |
| 19.09. | Read Slides on quenching reaction. |
| 10.10. | Read yourselves section 3.2 in Part 3: Modeling Based on Conservation Principles in the lecture note of Krogstad |
| 17.10. | Read yourselves Kreyszig 10th edition chp. 12.7 (9th edition chp. 12.6) about the solution of the Heat equation using the Fourier transform. |
