Examples are colloidal dispersions, polymer solutions
and melts, gels, glasses, biological systems and even
traffic jams. Since the microscopic structure of such
systems are only partially known, their time evolution
is usually modelled by a stochastic process. This
stochastic process describes the fluctuations in systems
and respons to external perturbations.

Computational Biology B, 7,5 hp (FIM790)
The aim of the course is to provide an introduction
to computational biology on the molecular and cellbiologal
level. You are introduced to key concepts
in molecular and cell biology. Methods for storage,
search, prediction and analysis of information
from molecular-biological experiments are studied.
Models of molecular evolution (the so-called coalescent)
are described and applied to problems in
human evolution, and to the analysis of molecular
bacterial data.

Astrophysical Dynamics, 7,5 hp (ASM400)
This course covers several multi-disciplinary issues
of modern research on astrophysical dynamics, of
interest to physicists, mathematicians and engineers.
The major topic is gas dynamics, viewed in context
with stellar dynamics and plasma physics. You will
become familiar with WAVELETS, which are becoming
an increasingly powerful tool for processing
signals and images, as well as for analyzing fractals
and turbulence with important applications to
dynamical modeling of disc galaxies.
Förkunskapskrav: To be eligible for the course
ASM400 the student needs knowledge in mathematics
and physics equivalent to a Bachelor degree.
Applicants must prove knowledge of English:
TOEFL test result of at least 600 points (computerized
250 points, on Internet 100 points) or IELTS
test result of at least 6.0, including at least 6.5 for the
Writing. This requirement does not apply to students
