Course Description

The course provides an overview of Greek and Roman culture in the classical period. The emphasis is on history, literature, and mythology. The syllabus consists of both texts from antiquity in translation and modern literature on the subject. The course provides a professional basis for further study of antiquity, and at the same time addresses issues and problems around recent use of classical culture in Europe. The course discusses topics including important events, people, and developments in Greek and Roman history; recent interpretations and reuse of ancient culture; ancient literary genres and texts, and how these have been preserved; literary works through the reading of primary texts; important Greek and Roman myths and mythological figures; and antiquity as a historical period and its relevance in recent times.

Course Description
This course gives insight into theory and algorithms for fundamental mathematical problems associated with systems of equations, optimization, and approximation of functions. There are many applications, for example, the representation of geometry, images, and more generally large data sets. Applications in various areas of the natural sciences are an essential part of the course. This subject assumes familiarity with linear algebra and calculus of several variables. The course discusses topics including important numerical methods; strategies both for constructing methods and analyzing them, often with the help of linear algebra; the limitations of various mathematical approximations and the effect of computer rounding errors; concrete methods for solving various kinds of equation systems and non-linear optimization problems; and methods for approximating functions with the help of simpler functions, such as polynomials, piecewise polynomials, and trigonometric functions.
