Eligibility
General entry requirements for bachelor's level (first cycle)Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Specific entry requirements
The same as for the programme that owns the course.Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Course specific prerequisites
At least 60 hp of the compulsory courses in mathematics from the TKTEM program must be reported in Ladok.Aim
The purpose of this course is to provide students the opportunity to collaborate on and contribute to research in mathematics and/or mathematical statistics. Its a unique, hands-on way to pursue your passions, find new interests, or explore different topics. The student will integrate, deepen and develop their knowledge within an area of mathematics and/or mathematical statistics. The project will give the student knowledge and skill in scientific research and both written and oral communication of research results.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- To formulate and limit the scope of a problem within the chosen subject area.
- To plan the work to solve and report the problem with given resources and within given time frame
- To search, read and evaluate available literature and other background information
- To integrate and develop knowledge and skill within the chosen problem - execute theoretical/laboratory work to reach the goals of the project
- To collect and interpret theoretical/laboratory results
- To communicate the project results and how these meet with the project goals and effect goals, in a written report and at an oral presentation.
Content
The content of the project may vary, but must be defined at the start of the project. The project should be clearly oriented towards research and innovation in an area related to mathematics.Organisation
The project will be performed either individually or in a group of maximum 5 students. The project must have a responsible supervisor who is an active researcher in the project's topic. The supervisor should give the student(s) the support necessary for the execution of the project within the given timeframe. It is up to the individual student in collaboration with the supervisor to organize a specific project. The content and organization of the project must be accepted by the course examiner and the project supervisor prior to the startup of the project.Examination including compulsory elements
A written report and an oral presentation.The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers about disability study support.
