    Project assignment I: Modelling

    Here is a PM for the first part of the project. Read - and follow! - the instructions on what to include in the report before you hand it in!

    Note: No more than two persons per group; the report must include on the first page the names of each group member, and the e-mail address of at least one group member.

    In order to hand in, go to "Project groups" in ping-pong and create a group called "name1_name2" (or name1, if only one group member). When you create the group, make sure to mark the square named "Project" in order to obtain access to the project upload.

    Deadline for part I of project assignment is November 15.

    Language: English or Swedish.

    Writing tools: Preferably LaTeX, but other word formatting tools are also ok (such as Word, etc) as long as the report is readable as a pdf.

    The PM is found here.
