Kod: 5MA194

In this course, the student is trained in specifying, planning, carrying out and presenting a thesis project with scientific qualities. The course builds on selected advanced courses in the subject, and treats topics more advanced than in standard courses in mathematics on an advanced level. The scientific method is treated, as regards ways of posing a research question, collecting, reading and analysing background materials, and presenting scope, limitations, methods, results and conclusions. The main part of the course consists in producing a written report with scientific qualities, which is then presented orally and in written form at a seminar. At the seminar, students critically evaluate each other's reports. The course consists of three modules: Module 1 (2 ECTS) Project plan Module 2 (26 ECTS) Project report Module 3 (2 ECTS) Seminar
