This course presents students with a comprehensive introduction to advanced topics in Linear Algebra as needed in the more advanced literature on Signals, Signal Processing, Systems and Control. The emphasis is on fundamental notions related to vector spaces, inner product spaces, normed spaces, matrix algebras, and computations with matrices.

In this course, students learn to engage with information visually. They learn to recognize and critique oversimplifying, biased, or misleading forms of visual representation, and to create their own visualizations to explore and communicate data that matters to them. Using examples from a wide range of academic disciplines - from economics, to literature, meteorology, history, urban design, or computer science - students discover key principles of visual thinking and communication and learn how to create their own charts and maps. Historically, data visualization has often been used to discriminate, control, and police. In this course, students also explore interventions by critical data scientists, scholars, and activists who visualize data to expose injustice, challenge unfair classification systems, and speak truth to power. The course does not involve any coding and does not require previous technical knowledge.

This course discusses the challenges of an increasing demand for meat, milk, and eggs produced in a manner that is environmentally sound and socioeconomically acceptable. It focusses on the production cycles of pig, cattle, and poultry production under Danish conditions. The course investigates the effects of management, housing, breeding, nutrition, productivity, health, animal ethics and welfare, resource consumption, and environmental impact of livestock production. It explores a range of different livestock production systems and works with the opportunities and challenges of implementing sustainable practices within them.

Students explore all aspects of choral and ensemble singing, from the purely technical (intonation, breathing, listening, pronunciation, vocal attacks, legato) to the subtleties of developing internal choral relationships and relationships with conductors and where appropriate, instrumentalists.

This course provides an overview of the fundamental principles and important applications of computer vision. Topics include image processing, segmentation, feature extraction, photometric vision, motion and tracking, camera models, scene reconstruction, and human/scene/object recognition and detection.

This course examines all aspects of the work of the producer from pre-production planning, through production and post-production. Students assume the role of a producer responsible for creating or acquiring a story idea and developing it through conceptualization, budgeting, treatment, proposal, funding, scheduling, outreach, marketing and distribution.

This course provides a basic introduction to human nutrition with emphasis on the underlying molecular mechanisms and aspects. Topics include: an introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system, including an introduction to the natural bacterial microbiota in the digestive system and its influence on human nutrition and health; the study types used in human nutrition studies; energy balance and macro nutrients in human nutrition; a detailed mapping of the structure and mechanisms of action of vitamins, and their influence on human health; an overview of minerals and trace elements in food and the importance on health conditions; "functional foods" and selected additives and their mechanism of action and impact on health; the relation between diet and the development of lifestyle diseases. The course involves laboratory exercises of glucose tolerance test after intake of different food components and DEXA body scanning.

This introductory course addresses basic concepts and linguistic processing methods regarding natural language comprehension and machine translation. It discusses fundamental concepts in information retrieval, text processing, and natural language understanding. Specific topics include morphological analysis, syntactic parsing, semantic analysis, pragmatics, and language generation.

Has green politics come of age? Around the world we are seeing spontaneous community movements challenging four difficult and intersecting issues: dangerous environmental change, growing social inequality, weak democracy and a paradigm of growth that has contributed to resource extraction beyond the capacity of the planet. Against a background of difficult issues including climate change and the impact of colonization, this course examines the roots of environmental thinking and activism and asks- what are the implications of these ideas for how we live as citizens, communities, businesses and nations and how might we plan for just transitions towards a more equitable and sustainable future? The course involves a weekend field trip.

This course examines communication reference models (TCP/IP and OSI); circuit switched and packet switched communication; network node functions and building blocks; LAN, MAN, WAN, WLAN technologies; protocols fundamental mechanisms; the TCP/IP core protocols (IP, ICMP, DHCP, ARP, TCP, UDP etc. ); applications and protocols (ftP, Telnet, SMTP, HTTP etc. ); network management and security.
