Hello Quantum Formalists,
The replay of lecture 9 is now available on the YouTube playlist. There was a minor technical typo/mistake on PART A which has now been blurred on YouTube and I've updated the slides. As an exercise, you are encouraged to try to figure out what the typo/mistake was! Also, if you spot any more technical typos/mistakes, please feel free to reach out to me via Discord or email.
In the meantime, I would like to share the following with you:
Crash Course Conclusion: This was the last session for this crash course that is aimed at introducing the notion of a 'smooth manifold' before Module II (Lie Groups, Lie Algebras & Representations). So mission accomplished and you are now ready to take on Module II (early next year)! For those who are still struggling with the fundamentals, I highly recommend that you use the gap to the next module to catch up.
I am also tempted to provide extra sessions covering advanced topics that were not part of the crash course e.g. fibre bundles. I'll keep you posted about this on Discord!
Certification of Attendance: For those confirming that they've audited the entire crash course via the live lectures or the YouTube playlist. I'll take the confirmation at face value! A PDF only certificate will be issued.
Certification of Completion: For those who can prove that they've got the basic knowledge that was covered in the manifold section i.e. must know the basics of topological manifolds and smooth manifolds. A fancy digital certificate will be issued using Accredible (see a real example here)!
To request either of the certificates above, please fill out this form. If you've already filled it, you don't need to do anything, I will follow up with you asap.
Industry Fellowship Scheme: I'll try to get a schedule asap to host a session about the industry career fellowship scheme. It will be only for those who express interest via this form that was shared a couple of weeks ago. If you've already filled it, you don't need to do anything, I will follow up with you asap.
Have a great week!
