Tuesday January 16

We'll start out on January 16 in a leisurely way which will probably take one hour only.

Certain topics that have escaped attention in the curriculum will be lectured throughout this spring term; which ones will be determined  when the detailed  background of the participants have come to light.

But the main thrust of the course is practical problem solving, presentation included. The participants will at the end of this month (or perhaps early February) be handed one problem each or perhaps in pairs. They will exercise influence over the problem area (life, non-life, finance). This is the oblig of the course. A report will have to be written within a certain date and then presented to the group orally. April is a probable time for these presentations.

The problems will be require programming, and the participants must keep their programs because the exam will be a home exam over three days for a second problem, related to, but different from the first. Exam will be a report, a second verbal presentation and then some questions related to the pensum part of the course.
