In the course you together with your supervisor will choose a problem in astrophysics, which you independently will study and solve. The task can be of a observational, technical or theoretical nature. It should preferentially be linked to…

The course treats: • Differential equation based modelling: Numerical methods to solve ODEs and convergence order. Applications to for instance predicting the spread of diseases and cell programming will be used. • MCMC based modelling…

BERN02. The overall learning outcome for the course is to let the students work with and combine two fields for data analysis in computational science: reproducible work flows and statistical learning. This includes to be able to…

Mathematical modelling is an essential tool within earth system sciences to understand processes and test hypotheses. For example, hypotheses related to ongoing climate changes are tested with models, and the estimated impacts of future…

Recent development in machine learning have led to a surge of interest in artificial neural networks (ANN). New efficient algorithms and increasingly powerful hardware has made it possible to create very complex and high-performing ANNs…

Nature is complex and often several factors interact also in seemingly simple processes. Models are useful tools to disentangle complicated relationships, to build a comprehensive description of a process, or simply to present your own…

Content: Introduction to R, binomial-, poisson- and normal distribution, descriptive statistics and graphs, hypotheses testing, t-test, ANOVAs, correlation, regression, multiple and non-linear regression, chi-square, G-tests, log-linear…

Over the last decades, global growth dynamics have shifted towards the economies of the non-Western world. The world is no longer divided between the West and the Rest. Nor is the Rest to the same extent marked by stagnation. In the course…

This course studies historical processes of growth, convergence and divergence in the global economy over the past two centuries. Two major approaches are applied. One takes its point of departure in theories of economic growth, basically…

The course consists of two parts: (1) Demographic methods and (2) Theories and evidence on global demographic transitions in an historical perspective. In the first part, basic demographic measures and concepts are discussed, such as…

This course explores and explains the processes of rapid industrialisation and socio-economic modernisation in China and the Asia Pacific drawing on a historically –comparative institutional approach. Fundamental factors and forces behind…

This course covers several areas of innovation economics, such as their characteristics, their driving forces of innovation and how innovation affects economic growth. It covers several sub-themes, such as: Market structures and innovation…

The first part of the course is an overview of the population debate over the past 50 years and its intellectual roots. This part includes theories explaining both the influence of population growth on economic, social, and environmental…

The content of the course is presented through a combination of teaching, literature and learning tools developed by the instructors. Modern economic growth is often represented by the idea that living standards can continue to rise,…

Students who have finished the BA course in English (ENGK03) can also take this course as a fee-standing course. The course can be an elective course within ENGX64 (English: Linguistic specialisation (91-120 credits)). This is a course…
