Either before or after the exam.
The curriculum is essentially unchanged from 2016. The semesterpages from 2016 contain a "review of old exam problems" indicating which old exam problems are relevant. The exams themselves may be found on the semester pages for 2016 combined with http://www.uio.no/studier/emner/matnat/math/MAT2400/oppgaver/
The exam from 2016 itself is also relevant.
I made a possible solution to the mandatory exercises. I have not done the optional exercises. I have not read through the exercises carefully, so some errors may still be there.
The last lecture, on wednesday 24 may, is cancelled. Instead we will go and listen to the following lecture:

Wavelets are a continuation of Fourier methods.

This week, instead of talking about differential equations as initially planned, I will finish two topics left open by previous lectures: Fourier series (tuesday) and linear operators (wednesday). The plan has been updated. Next week: chapter 6. The topic of week 15 will be determined later.
There seems to be a problem with the server folk.uio.no, so I have uploaded the mandatory assignment to a local file too.
There's midterms this week, so a the exercises should have been cancelled, but as a lot of people probably have questions regarding their second delivery of the mandatory exercise, I will be available for questioning in VB Aud 5 from both 10-12 and 14-16 on thursday.
Activity on Piazza has also fallen lately, do use it as a resource to ask questions as well.
Normally the results from the mandatory exercises should have been available within a week, but due to the number of exercises, they will not be available until tuesday.
If you do not pass the mandatory exercise, you will then have until thursday 30th to deliver the second attempt, so you can ask questions in the group on thursday 23rd.

I have posted the lecture and the note for this week. I have also updated the plan for the next lecture, which is in two weeks (various points related to previous lectures will have to be covered, so there will be less time than initially planned for the Weierstrass approximation theorem).
Lindstrøm:
4.2: 1, 2, 4, 6
4.3: 1, 2, 5, 7
4.4: 1, 2, 5, 7
I have posted lecture 6 and updated note 6 with some additional exercises.
have been posted. You're not supposed to do all the exercises, there are too many of them, but still, doing some is probably useful for digesting the lectures.
I have updated the weekly plan. Some minor modifications occur for the next few lectures to reflect what I think is doable. I have also added references.
The note contains some information about next week's lecture also.
Hello
We are going to try out Piazza this semester, as suggested by one of you guys. It's a web-page where you can ask questions, answer other peoples questions, and get answers from other students, or from one of the instructors. Do try it out, ask questions about homework, mandatory exercises, practical questions, or if something in the lectures was confusing. We will do our best to answer, and hopefully so will the other students! We encourage everyone to answer questions!
You join by going here. The access code is mat2400.
I have updated the note for week 4, with things to read and exercises to do. If there are too many, concentrate on those you think look most interesting.
I will update the weekly plan to reflect what I think is doable, based on progress made during lectures.
I have also updated the note on foundations with translations of Descartes and Pirsig, and a poem on mathematics.
I have posted a weekly plan outlining the topics to be covered in all the lectures, throughout the semester.
I have posted a note summarising my choices for notations and other conventions.
Replace exercise 1.3 (from the note of week 1) by exercise 3.5.1 in Tao's Analysis I.
Next week I will start talking about metric spaces. To get used to the concept it can be a good idea to read Section 3.1 in Lindstrøm. Most metric spaces arise as subsets of normed vector spaces, so it's also a good idea to read Section 5.1.
I have posted the final version of Note 3 (some minor modifications to reflect what we covered during lectures page 1, to see how integers and rationals can be recovered in any ordered field page 7, and exercise 3.10).
I have also posted this week's lecture. I improved the formulation of the lemma page 8 and added remarks page 9 and 12.
I have updated the notes for week 3. The two main concepts will be that of field and of ordered set.
In the future I will post some notes ahead of lectures in beta version, to allow students to prepare. The final version will be posted after the wednesday lecture.
