Course content
|
The written assignment should contain complete problem description, its analysis, solution method proposal, discussion about chosen method, and qualitative as well as quantitative analysis of the solution including all numerical and practical aspects. The presentation should then clearly and briefly sum up all key points of the assignment. The literature will be specified at the beginning of the assignment according to its characteristics.

| prerequisite |
|---|
| Knowledge |
|---|
| Students should have a basic knowledge of mathematics on the undergraduate level. |
| learning outcomes |
|---|
| By writing an individual assignment, student will learn how to - read and comprehend a given mathematical text, - fully describe a problem, its analysis and synthesis, - propose and compare different methods of solution, discuss a chosen method, - qualitatively as well as quantitatively analyse the solution including all numerical and practical aspects. Giving a presentation of their work, students will be able to - interpret a given mathematical texts, - clearly and briefly describe all key points of the assignment, - give a logical and coherent summary of their own work, - discuss a chosen method of the solution, properties of the method and of the solution, and point out open issues, - self-evaluate as well as asses other students. |
