International Master's Programme in Engineering Mathematics

The demand from industry for highly trained technicians with a solid background in mathematics and numerical analysis has increased rapidly in recent years. Development and manufacturing of new light composite materials in high-tech devices such as aircraft, cars, sports equipment require advanced techniques from areas such as fluid dynamics, nonlinear partial differential equations and scientific computing. Advanced mathematical tools in modern optimal design are used in order to meet needs like economy, elegance and efficiency.

Advanced optimization techniques become more and more common in the increasing complexity of decision making that we see. Typical examples are operational analysis techniques in crew sceduling in the search for maximal efficiency in large companies or the construction of optimal portfolios for big investors. The interest in the latter problem has increased enormously worldwide in recent years and the most advanced tools from areas like stochastic optimal control and nonlinear partial differential equations are now being developed.

In the international Master's programme Engineering Mathematics you may design your own specialization, like Differential Equations/Scientific Computing , Optimization/Algorithms, or others.

The programme is intended for students with a background in mathematics and engineering subjects including statistics, numerical analysis and scientific computing. On the completion of the studies the candidate should be well prepared to start PhD studies in engineering mathematics or be a well trained engineering mathematician for the industry.

Contents

The MSc programme includes three semesters of full time studies. This corresponds to 60 credit units (cu). 40 cu corresponds to courses (5 cu compulsory and 35 cu elective) and 20 cu corresponds to the Master's Thesis. Courses

Minimum requirements for admission to the programme are earlier studies corresponding to three years of full time studies at a Swedish university (approximately a Bachelor's degree), in the above mentioned subjects with courses in mathematics including calculus in one and several variables, linear algebra and elementary differential equations.

Printing of the Master thesis report

Printing of the Master thesis report can be done by 'Vaktmästeriet' at Mathematical Sciences (www.math.chalmers.se/vaktmastar/). You can either hand in a hard copy of the report to them (you find the office in the same corridor as MD7), or send it electronically in a PDF or a PostScript file to Jovan Pankovski, jovan@math.chalmers.se. You must include the following information:
1) the document is a Master thesis report in the International Master programme Engineering Mathematics,
2) the number of copies to be printed.
The maximum number of copies you can have is 20, (30 copies for two students doing a pair-project).

We appreciate if you give 1 copy to Ivar for the programme archive of Master theses

Also, send a report in a PDF or PostScript file to Ivar Gustafsson (ivar@math.chalmers.se) to make it available at the programme web site theses.
