NMXC10 Final Thesis, ECTS-points
/EXAMENSARBETE/

Advancement level:
C

Aim:
The aim is to give experience of independent work in mathematics as well as the written and oral presentation of this work.

Prerequisites:
In order to be allowed to begin the final thesis, the student must have passed courses of at least 80 points, and at least 60 of those points must be in courses in mathematics. In particular the following courses (or equivalent ones) must have been passed : Algebra, 5 points (NMAA11); Linear algebra, 5 points (NMAA12); Mathematical analysis I and II, 20 points (NMAA13 and NMAB13); Linear analysis, 5 points (NMAC07)*; Ordinary differential equations, 5 points (NMAC08)*. An alternative to the courses marked with *: Theory of analytic functions, 10 points (NMAC09). Deeper studies in addition to the requirements above may be demanded depending on the specialisation of the thesis.

Course organization:
The course consists of independent work. For every student a supervisor and an examiner is appointed. The examiner must be a teacher at the Department of Mathematics. A written plan of the work has to be made, and it has to be approved by the examiner. The thesis is examined by a written report and orally at a seminar.

Course content:
The content is defined individually for every student in consultation with the supervisor and the examiner.

Course literature:
The literature is defined individually.

Assessment:
EXAR
The thesis is examined by a written report and is presented at a seminar. Only the grades passed or failed will be used.

Course language is Swedish.
