02908 Seminar Course in Mathematics, Statistics, Operations Research and Numerical Analysis
Danish title: Seminar kursus i matematik, statistik, operationsanalyse og numerisk analyse
Language:  English    ECTS-creditpoints:  5   
Type:  course at phd level
Program:  Mathematics
Class schedule:   Efterår
Each Thursday 13-16 during the Fall semester, and a 2-day mid-semester workshop at an out of town conference location.

Scope and form:  Seminars by participating students
Evaluation:  Oral presentation and approval of coursework
Examination:  Pass/fail
Aim:  The aim of this course is twofold; a technical and a didactic. On the technical side, the course will provide the students with a broad introduction to a series of advanced subjects in mathematics, statistics, operations research and numerical analysis, through the participation in a number of lecture series. Series are planned and given by students and guests. Guests speakers are invited to present their reasearch in order to cover the technical aim of the course. The didactic aim is achieved by allowing the students to plan and execute lecture series or other types of instruction (computer exercises etc.), followed by an evaluation by their fellow students and the course teachers. This evaluation will form the basis for discussions and project work on didactic aspects of communicating concepts and results in mathematics, statistics, operations research and numerical analysis.
Contents:  Mathematics, statistics, operations research, numerical analysis, didactics.
