26 Mathematics and Informatics <strong>MSc</strong> in Mathematical Modeling and Computation Semesters: 4 Study credits: 120 ECTS Start: September 2007 Seats: 60 Application date: March 15 or June 1, 2007 Today mathematics is more relevant, more needed than ever before, and is part of nearly every aspect of our everyday lives. Mathematics is in cellular phones, train schedules and search engines – just to name a few. And its future looks even brighter. There is an ever increasing demand for mathematical models and methods in industrial applications, information technology, financial institutions, agriculture, government, health care and many other areas driven by technological achievements. The easy and fast access to data creates many new opportunities for doing things better, more efficiently, and with less reliance on natural resources, as a result of our understanding of complex underlying patterns and structures of the systems. Examples include airline scheduling, medical imaging, DNA sequencing, wind power, and drug development. Embedded systems are now so small and powerful that very advanced calculations supporting intelligent control can be build into virtually any device, such as hearing aids, cellular phones, cars, household appliances, and medical equipment. This <strong>MSc</strong> program covers a wide range of topics in mathematics and its applications. The goal is to provide the graduates with a solid foundation in applied mathematics and mathematical modeling for industrial research and development, combined with skills in using modern computing facilities for handling large amounts of data. The program is a continuation of a highly successful and popular program, and the graduates now work in virtually all sectors of the society. The students who go through the uniquely designed cooperative thesis projects with industry often receive employment offers from the company or institution that is involved with the project. Moreover many students continue their training in PhD <strong>programs</strong>, and are offered research and development jobs. Industrial as well as governmental grants are also available. Study lines: Computational Data Analysis OR for Decision Making Mathematics and Scientific Computing Secure and Reliable Computing Career opportunities: Working with mathematical modeling often is to usemathematics in some completely different area – it could be health care or environmental engineering. The work requires communication skills, creativity, an open mind and a broad interest in the world around us and in working together with others. Of the 150 graduates from the last two years, six has started their own company, and more than 20 are PhD students. Others are working in industries in Europe, in the US and in Australia. Prerequisites: BSc degree in a related field, such as (applied) mathematics or engineering. BSc degrees in other areas- e.g. environmental sciences or physics – are also applicable. Basic university/college courses in Mathematical Analysis and Algebra, plus one or more areas of applie mathematics, broadly interpreted. Basic courses in Programming and, normally, in Phys- ics and Chemistry.

The focus is on understanding and making the right choices of abstractions which makes it possible to implement IT solutions from existing and future components. As a professional designer you will model, analyze, design, implement, and validate complex IT systems, based on theoretically and technologically well-founded methods, tools and techniques. The Computer Science and Engineering Program will educate you to become a highly qualified engineer capable of developing complex IT systems consisting of both hardware and software, using these methods, tools and techniques. <strong>DTU</strong> has a strong and growing IT environment with competences in areas of great importance for the value growth and productivity of industry, academia and society. This covers areas such as safe and secure systems, system integration, distributed and embedded systems, networks, software engineering, algorithms, system-on-chip and digital systems. As a student in Computer Science and Engineering you will take part in this active IT environment. Study lines: Safe and Secure IT Systems System-on-Chip Design Career opportunities: Candidates in Computer Science and Engineering are able to use, develop and produce IT-systems at a high technical level. This makes them very attractive for both Danish and international companies and institutions. Candidates are typically employed in a very broad range of companies within the area of IT, electronics and telecommunications. Prerequisites: Technical BSc degrees in computer science, electronics or telecommunication. Skills within software programming and basic algorithms, and at least one of the following subjects: modeling, concurrency, networks, and digital systems.
