A description of the curriculum in MAT4450 this spring is available here. 

The oral examination will take place Friday, June 21, in room 108 (NH Abels Hus), between 09.30 and 15.00. The oral examination of each candidate will last around 40 minutes. There will be questions about definitions and examples of some of the main concepts; you will also be asked to state some important results, and in some cases you will have to sketch the proof. Some questions related to some of the exercises may also occur. 

Every candidate will receive a separate e-mail (on their UiO-email account) with the time for their examination.

The mandatory assignment is now available on the web-page (under the heading Additional material). The deadline to hand in your solutions (using Canvas) is Thursday, April 18, within 2.30 pm.

Student representatives for MAT4450 this spring are: Agmund Riiser, Alwin van Ramshorst, Mohit Varma, Henrikke Rustad og Andreas Willadsen.

The lecture today is sorrily cancelled. I will give an extra lecture later this semester as a replacement.

Welcome to MAT4450!

Note that it is not necessary to buy the book by Pedersen or the book by Conway. These books cover (more than) the curriculum in MAT4450, and provide alternative presentations of the material. Notes from the lectures will be made available after each lecture. I will most of the time (but not always) follow Enstad's notes from 2021 (you can download these from the homepage). A set of exercises will be assigned every week.
