Scientific Writing for Applied Mathematics

In this course, you learn to report on the outcomes of your study in a scientific paper. More specifically, you will learn to write a literature review about a subject of your own choice.

This is a necessary skill for anyone who wants to pursue an academic career after their graduation, but it can also be used immediately for all academic texts you will write during your Master program, such as your Master thesis.

In eight weeks, we will go through all steps of the writing process, from formulating a good main question and finding relevant literature to the actual writing, re-writing and final editing. You will exercise with finding, reading and managing relevant academic literature, writing in an academic style, building a comprehensive argumentation, reviewing fellow students' articles and using other students' and the instructor's comments to improve your own work.

The final grade of the course consists of the following components:

- Assignment (100%)

Resit/ Repair opportunities:
