Courses

This semester, I'll be taking:

  • Quantum Field Theory II. Still taught by Professor Schmidt , for whom I will still be typing up lecture notes. Basically a continuation of last term's course (QFT I).
  • General Relativity. The professor teaching it seems to be taking a fairly theoretically minded approach, which might be good, but also means I will probably get more math than I like to work through.
  • Cosmology. This will, based on the first week, be my favourite course. It's more accessible than the other two, I like the topic better, the teacher is a good lecturer, and for a change, I could actually work through the first exercise sheet with relative ease :).

All three professors have the relaxed attitude towards testing I mentioned last term: 'Just hand in your solutions to the exercises, and if necessary, we can do a small oral exam at the end of term.'

Veel plezier. Bij mij is het semester net afgelopen en begint de zomer nu...
Cosmology... sterretjes zien? Reminds me of a comment about the Polish: "it is not surprising that among the Polish are many good astronomers. The Polish are romantic so they like looking at the stars in general." Maar jij gaat vooral naar wiskundige formules kijken, toch?

Ja, en geen sterretjes. Kosmologie gaat over het hele universum, dat vaak als een homogene, isotrope stofwolk wordt behandeld. Stofdeeltjes zijn dan bijvoorbeeld sterrenstelsels...
