Aim:
The course shall give the students a perspective on scientific work in the field of mathematics. It shall also introduce the basic methods for project management. After the examination of the course, and participation in the project work, the student should be able to:
- give concrete examples where mathematical methods are used for solving technically relevant problems
- work in a project according to a project model
- present the results obtained in the project both orally and in a written report
- plan the work within a project according to given requirements, and create a project plan
- find knowledge of relevance and solve the tasks relevant to the project.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Calculus and Linear Algebra.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
|
|
Organisation:
The course consists of a series of lectures and a project. The lectures aim to prepare the students for project work by bringing up topics such as project models, oral communication, and information search. Also give the students insight into their future role as mathematicians.
The project work is documented in a written report and also presented orally. The course ends with a small conference where the students present their work.
