General

The course will be given early October to mid December 2024 in person with active participation of students.

Time and location: we meet on Thursdays  at 14.15-16.00 in the Cramér room at the Department of Mathematics, house 1 in Albano, starting October 3. Please note that we start 14.30 the first day, October 3!.

Contents: The course will cover the following areas: Writing scientific papers, Writing popular texts, Giving scientific talks, writing applications and the submission procedure.

Literature: During the course, handouts will be distributed and also references given.

Examination: Examination will consists of active participation at the meeting and doing each home assignment (see below) with passing mark, including giving feedback to other participant's contributions. I expect 100% attendance from course participants - inform me if you for some reason have to miss any meeting. The last two meetings are absolutely compulsory.

Home assignments: All written home assignments should be uploaded in the course page at the respective "day" in pdf-format (it should also be sent by e-mail to other selected course participants when applicable). Deadline: The deadline is 23.59 the Wednesday just prior to the following meeting.

Additional to the home assignment and completely voluntary (although much appreciated!), I would be grateful to receive feedback on my written handouts which will be distributed during the course. All kinds of feedback is appreciated, be it typos or suggestions for restructuring or missing bits.

If you are currently working on a paper without time pressure this may be used in the course. The home assignment of Day 2 is writing a paper - of course this need be started on at an earlier stage. One complaint last time the course was given was the short time for preparing this. I hence suggest you start this assignment asap.

Please note that course material will be updated during the course (current material is from 2021). The files will be updated no later than the day of the corresponding lecture. Updated files will have "2024" in their title.
