Welcome to FYS-STK3155/4155. Plans for the first week

First of all a warm welcome to you all.

Our first lecture is Monday August 18, 215pm-4pm.

The sessions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays last four hours for each group (four in total) and will include lectures in a flipped mode (promoting active learning) and work on exercises and projects. The sessions will begin with lectures and questions and answers about the material to be covered every week. There are four groups, Tuesdays 815am-12pm and 1215pm-4pm and Wednesdays 815am-12pm and 1215pm-4pm. Please sign up as soon as possible for one of the groups. Max capacity per group is 30-40 participants. Please select the group which fits you best.

The first week we start with simple linear regression, a repetition of linear algebra and elements of statistics needed for the course.

Note that there is no mandatory presence. All lectures can be accessed either in person or live via zoom at  https://uio.zoom.us/my/mortenhj

All lectures will be recorded and made available (after minor editing) after the lecture. The whiteboard/blackboard notes will be posted immediately after the lecture. 

The same zoom link will also be used for some of the lectures/additional material discussed during the lab sessions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This link will be used throughout the semester.
