Introduction

Bestått-Ikke bestått.

Required preliminary courses

Summativ vurdering gjennomføres av representant fra praksisstedet og praksislærer fra universitetet. Endelig vedtak om Bestått-Ikke bestått fattes av universitetet.

Learning outcomes

10 studiepoeng overlappende med BARNPRA3/MBARNBPRA3.

Content

  • Approaches to scientific computing and implementation of mathematical models
  • Principles of modelling and derivation of mathematical models
  • Analysis, numerical solution and bifurcations of ODEs
  • Numerical methods for computation of solutions of ODEs and PDEs

Teaching and learning methods

The course is organized as a series of lectures and seminars where the subject material is presented and discussed. Between these sessions the students should work with problem solving, implementation of numerical methods and model simulations. The last part of the semester students will work with a compulsory individual project supervised by the course lecturer. The project will involve studies and analyses of a mathematical model and a rather extensive implementation of the numerical solution of the model.

Course requirements

None

Assessment

The assessment will be based on a portfolio of the following:

  • One individual project delivery consisting of a report (2000 - 4000 words)
  • An individual oral examination (30 minutes)

The portfolio will be assessed as a whole and cannot be appealed.

New/postponed exam

In case of failed exam or legal absence, the student may apply for a new or postponed exam. New or postponed exams are offered within a reasonable time span following the regular exam. The student is responsible for registering for a new/postponed exam within the time limits set by OsloMet. The Regulations for new or postponed examinations are available in Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet.

In the event of a postponed examination in this course the exam may be held as an oral exam. Oral exams cannot be appealed.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

All aids are permitted, provided the rules for plagiarism and source referencing are complied with.

For the oral exam, students will only have access to the project report.

Grading scale

Grade scale A-F.

Examiners

Two internal examiners. External examiner is used periodically.
