CLASSES AND TUTORIALS
Alexander Schekochihin
Papers CP4 (1st year), A1 (2nd year)
Trinity Term 2025
| NOTES: Your classes will be on
Fridays, the corresponding problem sheets will be due on Sunday
night following the class, with follow-up tutes
the week after. I advise you to 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. Please turn in all your homework by placing it in your personal Dropbox folder. Work that is turned in late cannot be guaranteed to be looked at in time for the tutes. Marked work will be placed back in your Dropbox folder. Please make notes for yourself while doing the homeworks to make sure you have a plan for what to discuss during the tutes (also, ideally, discuss this before the tute with your tute partner). This term, Radek Grabarczyk (CP4) and Agi Wierzchucka (A1) will be the GTAs, and Agi will also offer some revision tutes---unlike me, she has been through all these exams herself, and will give valuable tips from the trenches. Note that Agi, as well as Natalie Koscelanska, who was GTA for CP3 in MT, also serve as a graduate mentors and you are encouraged to seek appointments with them (although it is not guaranteed that they will have time for you in any given week) --- if after the tutes you are still having difficulties with the material. There are other graduate mentors available, listed here. CP3/4: Prof Christopher Ramsey will do the vacation problem set (HT-7) and CP3 revision; please arrange your schedule (and process for turning in homework) with him directly. |
