FSF3950 Classical Papers in Applied Mathematics 7.5 credits

The purpose of this course is to cover a number of classical papers in applied and computational mathematics. There are numerous papers that have had a lasting impact on the research in applied and computational mathematics and in this course the students will gain familiarity with a selection of these papers. The course covers the mathematical aspects, as well as historical and experimental aspects, of the papers. For each paper, students will take the role as either historian, mathematician or experimentalist and present the paper from that point of view to the other students.

After completing the course the students are expected to:

• Explain the fundamental ideas of classical papers in applied mathematics

• Have a good comprehension of the context, history and impact of the papers

• Be able to explain and perform computer experiments that illustrates the main results of the papers Be able to solve problems and discuss research questions related to the theory

A Master degree including at least 30 university credits (hp) in in Mathematics.

To be announced at least 4 weeks before course start at course home page.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
