Course introduction
The master thesis constitutes the conclusion of masters program in mathematics. In the thesis, the student should demonstrate deep knowledge of some concrete subject within applied mathematics.
Expected learning outcome
At the conclusion of the thesis, the student should be able to:
- Analyze hypothesis and critically evaluate own and others research results.
- Plan and perform computer simulations of mathematical models.
- master computer simulations as a tool in science.
- Solve problems in natural science using both theory and numerical simulations.
- Present the obtained knowledge and insight in a precise and intelligible language – in both oral and written form.
Content
The interdisciplinary projects typically arise within research and developement with collaborating scientist and/or companies.

Additional information
The examination starts with a presentation. After the presentation the student may be examined in both the report and the presentation. The student's presentation is part of the total assessment.
The deadline for the thesis report is final. This means that one exam attempt has been used if the thesis report has not been handed in on time. In the event of a missed submission deadline, the university sets a modified research problem within the same subject area as the thesis. The modified research problem must correspond a work load of three months, and it must be received by the Head of Studies no later than 14 days after the submission deadline.
