CHAOS for Science and Technology (FMFN05, 7.5hp)

Teaching 2020:
Important notice COVID19: The website is now managed through Canvas. All updates will happen through that platform. Students registered should have access. The rest have to request access at this page: https://canvas.education.lu.se/courses/4609 Due to the present state of emergency the teaching will be moved online and there will be no lecture at the previously designated rooms. Instead, a Zoom server has been setup, reachable during lecture time at the following address: https://lu-se.zoom.us/j/142145937. There will be an introductory meeting where it will be explained the structure of the course and what's the plan to move forward. You are welcome to ask any questions and propose ways to ease your work. Due to the uncertain nature of the event and the technical detail related (might happen that the connection is unreliable to the high number of users that will start next week), be particularly attentive to emails and announcements and the lecture, project and assessment modes might change. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need to discuss for any reason related to the course. My (virtual) door is open through zoom and email at andrea.idini@matfys.lth.se

Project

The project is a compulsory part of the course and corresponds to 1.5 hp. Have a look at the github page and contribute! Lund in Chaos, github projects You are suggested to work in groups of two persons, but in special cases you can work alone.
The project shall be presented in a written report - there is no oral presentation. Only two kinds of marks are given on the project part: passed or not passed.
A list of topics is available here, Please choose and sign up for a topic by 08 May.
You might also suggest your own topic.
You should have at least two meetings with your supervisor. You must start your project work and give a report to your supervisor before the written exam.
