Learning outcomes

- The advanced study module in Mathematics is intended to give the student a solid knowledge of the foundations of mathematics applicable in information technology. After finishing the module the student can carry out typical mathematical modelling tasks and implement the models in a computer program. The module gives the student necessary prerequisites for postgraduate studies and other further training.

Prerequisites

Content

Compulsory courses

Each of the two focus areas has its own compulsory course and a recommended set of choices for the complementary courses which are listed in a separate table.

Course Credit points Alternativity Class
MAT-41196 Graph Theory 6 cr 1   III  
MAT-45706 Introduction to scientific computing 3 cr 1   III  
MAT-58006 Master's Thesis Seminar 1 cr   V  
Total 10 cr    

1. Graph Theory is compulsory for the Discrete Mathematics focus area; Intro Sci Comp is compulsory for the Mathematical Modelling focus area.

Supplemental courses

The complementary courses should be chosen mainly according to the recommendation of the department. This recommendation is given in a separate document. Including other courses and courses of other departments is possible with prior permission.
