Learning outcomes

This course gives an insight into some current research area or some practical activity where numerical methods have an important function. The course is designed individually depending on the prerequisites of the student and the teachers who are available at the school.

After the course the student should have

  • studied the theory in the area, both in textbooks and in scientific articles
  • if demanded performed numerical experiments, preferably on some real world problem
  • summarized the experiences orally and written.

Course main content

Through this course students with a special interest area within the field of scientific computing can perform studies that have been individually defined for the specific student to fit his/her interests. Course contents and examination will be individually defined for each student. Students interested in taking the course are asked to contact first the person in charge of the corresponding specialization or some other teacher at Nada and then the person in charge of this course. The course can only be offered if Nada has sufficient resources and competence within the special interest area.

No instruction is given on this course.
