SF2523 Topics in Scientific Computings 3.0 credits

A problem from scientific computing on advanced level will be presented. The topics will differ on the occasions the course is given. The course will be given as a lecture series to be followed and a project to be accomplished.

The overall goal of the course is to give a deep plunge into a current problem in scientific computing.

After the course you will be able to

• select and implement appropriate methods for an advanced specific problem
• perform simulations of the problem with the help of appropriate software
• judge the quality of the results and suggest improvements of the algorithms and the code.

Single course students: 90 university credits including 45 university credits in Mathematics. English B, or equivalent.

Depends on the actual subject

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

• PRO1 - Project, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
