Examinator

 The head-examinator is Torbjörn Lundh but there will be different lecturers each time. These persons will also be the sub-task-examinators.

Course

The course consists of ten mandatory lectures - five in the fall and five in the spring. To get credits, the student pick two groups of the ten which presented, to make a two-and-a-half-week project with each research group. Note that a group can consist of only one researcher. The task is decided by the group leader, i.e. the lecturer, who will also supervise and grade the project. The task can vary depending on the background and interest of the student. 

Examination

After the course, the student is expected to give an overview over a few of the current research project at Mathematical Sciences at University of Gothenburg. Furthermore, she/he is also expected to give a more detailed despriction of two research areas with respect to current results and questions. To obtain the grade G (Pass), the student should exept for attending all the seminars, also pass the both projects. To obtain the grade VG (passed with honours), the student has to pass both projects, and with at least one project VG.
