The course deals with one of the most multifaceted aspects of linguistic research: the uncovering of new language data by means of linguistic fieldwork. It gives an introduction to (1) purposes and aims of linguistic fieldwork, e.g…

This course looks at the way language, and language variation, are motivated by human cognition and culture, with an emphasis on cultural and linguistic difference in a context of constrained variation. We shall explore the way in which…

Human languages differ structurally across several different dimensions, and various grammatical theories have been developed to explain and describe this diversity. The course addresses a variety of construction types across the world's…

The student selects three to four periods in the history of Russian literature for individual study. The selection is made from the following periods: The Enlightenment (the 18th century), The Golden Age of poetry (1800-1830), Realist…

The course examines a number of theoretical approaches which have been dominant in both Swedish and international literary research in recent years. They are introduced in a concrete manner in connection to various issues that have been…

The course focuses on a number of key post-Wall German novels, especially novels from the 1990s which directly or indirectly highlight historical events after the fall of the Wall and the German reunification. The novels are studied in…

The course is given during the autumn semester at Lunds university and at the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby. The graduate course in Advanced Time Series Analysis has its target audience amongst students with technical or…

Time series analysis concerns the mathematical modelling of time varying phenomena, e.g., ocean waves, water levels in lakes and rivers, demand for electrical power, radar signals, muscular reactions, ECG-signals, or option prices at the…

The course deals with model building and estimation in non-linear dynamic stochastic models for financial systems. The models can have continuous or discrete time and the model building concerns determining the model structure as well as…

Bayesian methods for stochastic modelling, classification and reconstruction. Random fields, Gaussian random fields, Kriging, Markov fields, Gaussian Markov random fields, non-Gaussian observations. Covariance functions, multivariate…

The course consists of two related parts. In the first part we will look at option theory in discrete time. The purpose is to quickly introduce fundamental concepts of financial markets such as free of arbitrage and completeness as well as…

The degree project requires a literature review and special studies. In addition, it includes a number of compulsory elements, in the form of lessons and seminars, which deal with, among other things, scientific writing in English and…

A central part of the course is existence- and uniqueness theorems about measures defined on sigma-algebras, integration theory, conditional expectation and weak convergence in metric spaces.

The course treats the geometry of curves and surfaces, especially in three dimensions. In particular, we study the concepts of curvature and torsion. The course covers: The geometry of curves in Euclidean space, their curvature and…

The course treats: Finitely generated groups: free groups, Nielsen-Schreier Theorem, group presentations, finitely presented groups. Free products: free products with amalgamation, HNN extensions. Solvable groups: polycyclic groups,…
