Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• have expert understanding within one or a few selected elements of a central mathematical subject area based on high level research, or has a broader insight into a central mathematical subject area regarding theories and methods as well as central elements and their interrelationships
• must be able to understand and on a scientific basis reflect upon the knowledge of the mathematical subject area and be able to identify scientific problems

Skills

• must be able to identify, formulate and analyse a scientific problem independently, systematically and critically
• must be able to relate the problem to the mathematical subject area, including explaining the choices that have been made in connection to the delimitation of the problem
• must be able to independently make and justify the choice of mathematical theories and methods
• must be able to independently and critically evaluate the chosen theories and methods as well as the analyses, results and conclusions in the project, both during and at the end of the project period
• must be able to evaluate and choose between the scientific theories, methods, tools, and general skills within the mathematical subject area

Competences

• must be able to control work and development situations which are complex, unpredictable and require new mathematical models or methods for solution
• must be able to initiate and complete mathematically oriented collaborations, and if relevant also interdisciplinary collaborations, as well as assume professional responsibility
• must be able to independently assume responsibility for own professional development and specialisation
