Hilary Term 2011
| 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: I suggest that you attempt the problem sheets BEFORE the class, so we could deal with some of the arising problems in class. 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 Oral Skills for 2nd years: This course in college will be coordinated by Prof Artur Ekert, who will be in touch with you by email to help you choose a topic and prepare and will meet you in week 7 (Tue and Wed) to review progress. Before week 7, if you need help/have any issues that cannot be resolved by email with him, I am happy to discuss them in our tutes or by appointment. |
