The Summer School on Applied Mathematics is a one-week programme featuring mini-courses on various topics within Applied Mathematics. The mini-courses will touch on fields like signal and image processing, inverse problems, game theory, networks, stochastic modelling and numerical analysis.
The Summer School on Applied Mathematics is aimed at students in their final year of the undergraduate studies in Mathematics (or related fields, such as Physics and Computer Science, provided they have the relevant mathematical background). The mini-courses offered during the school encompass the selected research directions in Applied Mathematics within the Mathematical Institute of Utrecht University, including signal and image processing, inverse problems, game theory, networks, stochastic modelling and numerical analysis.
Students with at least two years of mathematics at bachelor's level who have a basic background in linear algebra, (partial) differential equations, probability theory, linear functional analysis, numerical methods and aspects of mathematical modelling. Some tutorials will require knowledge of Python. Students from universities in The Netherlands, including Utrecht University, and from universities worldwide, are welcome to apply.
The aim of the summer school is to expose students to the state-of-the-art research topics in modern applied mathematics and provide them with an overview of the research done at the Mathematical Institute of Utrecht University. During the mini-courses, the participants will also get an opportunity to interact with each other and apply newly gained knowledge during the exercise sessions. The learning experience will be complemented with a social program.
Lectures and exercise sessions in the morning and afternoon (09.00 to 17.00 hours, including lunch and other breaks).
There are no travel grants, grants for housing costs or fee waivers available. The fee includes a social lunch and a dinner. Since the number of spots in the summer school is limited, we will select participants on a first come, first served basis, based on their CV, background, and motivation statement. The application deadline is 23 June 2024, or earlier when the school is full.
The housing costs do not include a Utrecht Summer School sleeping bag. This is a separate product on the invoice. If you wish to bring your own bedding, please deselect or remove the sleeping bag from your order once you apply for this course.
