| NOTES:
If you are meeting me in ThPhys-2.5 (this is in 1 Keble Road, R.
Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics) and there is no one at the
reception to let you in, please ring my mobile phone 07766138996 or
office
01865 273 980. Attention 1st and 2nd years: Your classes will normally be on Fridays and the corresponding problem sheets will be due on Sunday night following the class (except if indicated otherwise below), with follow-up tutes the week after. I suggest that you attempt the problem sheets BEFORE the class, so we could deal with some of the arising problems in class. If you do not do that, it may turn out to be difficult for you to finish your homework on time. I cannot guarantee that I will look at the work that is turned in late. CP3/4: Half of the classes and tutorials will be given by Prof Christopher Ramsey. Please arrange your schedule with him directly. CP3/4: Graham Ross's notes CP3/4: Problem Sheets for HT-11 A1: Course webpage 2nd-year presentations will be coordinated by Prof Artur Ekert but if you need urgent help/advice while he is not in town, you are welcome to talk to me. B1-I: Course webpage Some notes on Kolmogorov turbulence |
