Students taking the course must have a thorough knowledge of advanced calculus, including ordinary and partial differential equations. The student should also be familiar with linear algebra and Fourier and Laplace transform theory. In terms of programming, the candidate should have some experience in implementing numerical methods, including schemes for solving partial differential equations.

The candidate should also have a certain knowledge of mathematical analysis, modern physics or physiology – depending on specialization.

The course will be offered once a year, provided 3 or more students sign up for the course. If less than 3 students sign up for a course, the course will be cancelled for that year.

None.

The teaching is organised as sessions where the subject material is presented, and as sessions where the students solve problems using analytical and/or numerical methods. Between these sessions, the students should work individually with literature studies and problem solving.

In the last, specialised part, the students are required to complete and present a rather extensive individual project involving theoretical and practical/implementational aspects.

Pass/fail.

Module 1 will take the form of lectures. Module 2 will take the form of lab and homework assignments. Module 3 will take the form of seminars. In module 3, the student will present a case to the other students. We will also invite guest lecturers from research groups that focuses on machine learning and network science to introduce the students to potential tools and analysis methods.

Practical training

The students will participate in lab experiments to explore how once can measure various aspects of internet's robustness and performance. The students will write a summary of one of the tools that were introduced in the lab and discuss its benefits and limitations.

Closed book examination. No handwritten notes are permitted. A basic electronic calculator may be used.

Pass or fail.

All aids are permitted.

Two examiners. External examiner is used periodically.
