A Forum where we can share comments is set up at https://mattelab2024h.math.ntnu.no/c/tma4195/109
Xavier will be available on Teams. Two Teams "rooms" are set up.
Join the first one, the lobby, write your name in the chat and stay connected there. Then, I will fetch you and ask you to join the second "room" where we can discuss on the project.

Errata
Monday 4. November
- Fix reference for the figure in question 2.
- Legendre polynomial expansion : The expansion uses of course the constant, which is also the lowest order Legendre polymial ($n = 0$)
Tuesday 5. November
- Added comment and value for coefficient $D$ in second part of project
- Corrected interpretation of coefficient $f$.
Each group delivers
- A written report, approximately 10 pages long.
- The report can be either English or Norwegian.
How to work
- Manage your time:
- Expected total time per person: About 3x12=36 hours.
- Try to plan, focus, and limit the work so that you get some results in the expected time without using many extra hours.
- Imagine you work in a company and the group is given 3 weeks and 36 hours per member to finish the project (some results, report, presentation). Do your best with these constraints.
- You can present partial results.
- Try and fail is ok as long as you do not cover up.
- You may discuss across the groups, but reports and presentations must be made independently.
- You may use any literature you find, but you must give references to the source!
- Do not copy from any source without understanding the material first!
