After agreement from the examiner it is also possible to take other courses.
Contents of the courses:
1. Real analysis 1, 5 credits
The course treats foundational notions of the analysis of vectorvalued functions, such as limits, continuity, differentability, existence of inverse functions and implicitly defined functions and uniform convergence of function sequences. This is done starting with the properties of the natural numbers and the geometry and topology of the n-dimensional euclidean space. Convex sets and manifolds are treated as are more general topological and metric spaces. A short introduction to lebesgues measures and the lebesgues integral is also given in the course.
Literature
W.Fleming: Functions of several variables, Springer-Verlag.

2. Real analysis 2, 5 credits
In the course a more thorough introduction to the theory of integration is given. The lebesgues measure and the lebesgues integral are introduced and applied.
Literature
M.Adams, V.Guillemin: Measure theory and probability , Wadsworth & Brooks.

3. Complex analysis, 5 credits
The course deals with the complex plane and its essential geometric and topological properties, analytic and harmonic functions, Cauchy's theorem and the integral formula, residue calculus, conformal mappings and various transform methods such as the Fourier- and Laplacetransforms and the Z-transform. These notions are applied to models of planar flows and fields, to the solution of boundary value problems and to problems which have essential importance for applications in the physics.

4. Partial differential equations 2, 5 credits

The course deals mostly with three main types of second order partial differential equations: the Laplace´s equation, the wave equation and the heat equation. Initial and boundary value problems and their physical interpretation are discussed. Existence, uniqueness and stability of solutions are studied as well as different methods for finding the solutions.
For example the following is studied: the Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation, Green functions, the Cauchy problem for the wave equation, the energy problem, the spreading of waves, vibrating strings and membranes, the heatconduction and the diffusion problems and the maximum principle.

5. Algebra 2, 5 credits

The course treats the general theory of algebraic structures such as groups, rings and fields. Notions like coset, ideal and isomorphism are given special emphacis. The course treats field extensions and possible geometric constructions. In particular it is shown why the classical problems "trisection of the angle", "the doubling of the cube" and the "squaring of the circle" are geometricaly unsolvable. Computer exercises with the program Magma are included in the course.

6. Discrete mathematics

The course treats the general theory of algebraic structures such as groups, rings and fields. Notions like coset, ideal and isomorphism are given special emphacies. These notions are applied to Boolean algebras, blockmodels, codes with a finite number of states, algorithms for networks, geometric constructions etc.
Literature
N.Biggs: Discrete Mathematics, Clarendon Press.

7. C-paper, 10 credits
Some topic is chosen for deeper studies and special examination work. Topics can, for example, be chosen from the following areas:
Linear algebra
Mechanical systems
The calculus of variations
Stochastic processes, ergodic theory and information theory
The history of mathematics
Mathematical didactics

The choice of topic has to be done in concensus with the examiner
Literature
The literature is chosen in cooperation with the examiner
Work with the C-paper may not commence until MAM602 or a corresponding course is completed. The C-paper has to be presented at a seminar.

TEACHING
The teaching consists of lectures, computer exercises and tutorials. The course can in its entirety and in part be taught in english.


EXAMINATION
The examination consists of written and oral examination.
