The first year in the programme is mainly dedicated to the compulsory courses in the basic curriculum. However, some courses in the specializations are also given in the first year, in order to harmonise the master programme and the final part of the five-year engineering education at KTH. The second year mainly consists of elective courses and the final degree project, although it depends on the chosen specialization. Kurser Utbildningen sker i kursform. Kurslistor finns i bilaga 1. The programme is course-based. Lists of courses are included in Appendix 1. The basic curriculum corresponds to approximately 45 university credits. In each track, there is an additional set of profile courses, of which normally at least 18 university credits have to be taken. This leaves approximately 27 university credits for optional (elective) courses. These courses may be chosen among other higher level courses at KTH, or at the Department of Mathematics at Stockholm University, relevant to the student's profile. Betygssystem För kurser på KTH används en sjugradig målrelaterad betygsskala A-F som slutbetyg för kurser på grundnivå och avancerad nivå. A-E är godkända betyg med A som högsta betyg. Betygen godkänd (P) och underkänd (F) används som slutbetyg då särskilda skäl föreligger. Courses in are graded on a scale from A to F. A-E are passing grades, A is the highest grade. The grades pass (P) and fail (F) are used for courses under certain circumstances. Villkor för deltagande i utbildningen No later than November 15 and May 15 each academic year, respectively, the students are required to make a study registration and course selection for the coming term. At least 40 university credits have to be completed during the first academic year (including the re-examination period in August) in order for the student to be promoted to the second year of the programme. Students have to make a decision about the track during the first year of the programme. Tillgodoräknanden Under certain circumstances, and in agreement with the programme director, credits for previous studies can be received according to the local policy of KTH, see http://intra.kth.se/regelverk/utbildning-forskning/grundutbildning /prestationer/1.27200 Examensarbete Students admitted to the programme are required to perform an independent study in the form of a thesis project corresponding to 30 university credits. To begin the thesis project, a student must normally have completed at least 65 university credits of the total course work and 18 university credits of the profile courses in the track. The purpose of the thesis project is that the student should demonstrate the ability to perform independent project work, using and developing the skills obtained from the courses in the programme. It is the student s responsibility to find a suitable thesis project, with assistance from KTH. More information on the KTH policy on the degree project can be found at http://intra.kth.se/regelverk/utbildningforskning/grundutbildning/examensarbete Examen Students who fulfill all the requirements will be awarded a degree of Master of Science (two years).

Bilaga 2: Inriktningar Masterprogram, matematik (TMTHM), Utbildningsplan för kull HT2010 Beräkningsmatematik (COMP) The rapid development of hardware as well as software in the information technology sector has significantly improved the ability and need for mathematics in society. The track towards computational mathematics aims at construction, analysis and application of numerical methods for mathematical models. Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DM) Discrete mathematics concerns the study of discrete (often finite) structures and concepts. Discrete, mathematical and combinatorial objects are often fascinating as such, but they also have a large number of practical applications and coding theory is used in cd players. Computer science is a very wide discipline which is close to discrete mathematics. Within complexity theory, mathematics and logics are very important tools for understanding what problems can be solved efficiently. Cryptography is another area where mathematical models are used to construct secure and efficient programmes. Matematik (MAMA) The track in mathematics is intended for students who wish to acquire knowledge on mathematics at an advanced level. The specialization may form the foundation for doctorate studies in mathematics, applied mathematics or closely related doctorate programmes. There are a large number of elective courses given, many jointly with the Department of Mathematics at Stockholm University. Matematisk statistik och finansiell matematik (MSFI) The aim of the track in mathematical statistics and financial mathematics is to provide broad knowledge on the mathematical foundation of statistical methods and a number of statistical tools for modeling and analysis of situations where randomness and uncertainty must be taken into account. There is a wide range of areas where this knowledge may be applied. In recent years, modelling of financial markets has attracted significant interest. Consequently financial mathematics is, to a large extent, a natural part of mathematical statistics. Optimeringslära och systemteori (OS) Optimization and systems theory is an applied mathematical discipline motivated by applications in areas such as operations research, economics, control and signal progressing. Optimization concerns maximizing or minimizing a function subject to constraints. Many such problems arise in real life, for example an airline scheduling aircraft or a telephone company routing calls. In all these problems, the systems concept arises. Systems theory is the study of phenomena and structures of high complexity, often man-made structures. Applications for systems theory can be found in e.g. robotics, control and signal processing.
