This course is based on the book of A: N. Kolmogorov and S. V. Fomin, "Introductory real analysis", you can buy this book and it is very cheap; the book will be used for other courses, "Functional Analysis", "Topology", and "Distribution Theory", so it may be useful to buy it in the paper form; but in principle you can work with the electronic version.

The free pdf-file of the book can be found at 

http://tomlr.free.fr/Math%E9matiques/Fichiers%20Claude/Auteurs/Kolmogorov/Introductory%20Real%20Analysis%20-%20Kolmogorov%20Fomin(1).pdf

This course will be based on chapters 7-10, chapter 1 (set theory) is supposed to be know, so please read it in advance.

Hej!

Vi startar denna kurs på måndag den 6 november kl 13:15 i Tegnérsalen V Lärosal. Då kommer vi att ha en introduktion av kursen samt gå igenom vad kursen handlar om och vilka olika övningar och examinationsmoment som ingår. Det är viktigt att du kan närvara vid denna uppstart eftersom vi då går igenom förutsättningarna för det "projektarbete" som ni skall utföra parallellt under hela kursen. Som ni förstår kommer ni alltså att även i denna kurs jobba i projektgrupper och under måndagen den 6 november behöver vi fastställa dessa grupper så att ni så tidigt som möjligt kommer att kunna starta upp ert projektarbete.

Denna kurs fokuserar på arbetsformen projekt och hur de skall styras och ledas. Detta är en av de vanligaste arbetsformerna i arbetslivet och många branscher, som t.ex. bygg och IT, är i stort helt drivna genom en mängd olika projekt. Det andra fokus som finns i kursen är "teknisk kommunikation" som i detta sammanhang handlar om ett vetenskapligt arbetssätt. I era framtida yrken är det troligt att ni inte bara kommer arbeta i olika projekt utan att det också kommer att krävas ett vetenskapligt förhållningssätt från er. Av den anledningen skall ni alltså i era projektgrupper utföra ett undersökningsarbete som skall redovisas i slutet av kursen. Mer information om detta projektarbete kommer att finnas här på MyMoodle innan kursstart.

Under kursen kommer vi att varva föreläsningar och arbete i grupp. Alla föreläsningsbilder kommer att läggas upp på MyMoodle, redan nu kan du hitta förra årets bilder här. Observera dock att innehåll och turordning på olika ämnen kan ändras under årets kurs så det är inte säkert att innehåll och bildordning är exakt densamma som det var förra året. Halvvägs in i kursen kommer en uppdaterad lista på instuderingsfrågor att läggas upp (förra årets instuderingsfrågor finns nedan). Tentamen som sker i januari kommer baseras på dessa instuderingsfrågor.

Vi som hälsar er välkomna till kursen är:

+change! 

This semester is dedicated to the design approach meta-design, where the designer aims to be an active part in change-processes using designerly means. The semester is planned as a whole, where the different parts build on each other towards you carrying out a change-project as well as discussing, critically evaluating and contextualizing the design process from the perspective of sustainability. 

To apply and practice the learning focuses of this course, you will work on one design project for the entire semester. The theme for this project will be Surplus of Homes.

Welcome to Introduction to Health Informatics

Here are some brief information before the beginning of the semester.

The course introduction will take place on Monday 28th September at 9.15-10, in the room Vi2158K (House Vita). If you need help finding a map, there is a map at lnu.se: https://lnu.se/mot-linneuniversitetet/kontakta-och-besoka/karta/

The course offers a critical overview of slavery and slave trade on a global level, surveying the research trends of the last decades. Historical as well as literary perspectives are applied. While slavery has been a fact of life as long as human records exist, an analytic and comparative approach to the phenomenon is relatively late. A great deal of attention has been devoted to the Trans-Atlantic trafficking in humans, and slave labour in the Americas. More recently, slave-based economies in the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean World have come into the limelight. Hitherto neglected groups with a slave-like status, in places like India, China, and Korea, are now being explored. Moreover, the plight of humans in the contemporary world with a bonded and permanently subservient status has called for attention. The course aims to address the “curse of the particular” which has long haunted research on slavery and failed to address connectivities and comparisons between different regions. It also wishes to challenge the Atlantic paradigm that has tended to see slavery from a matrix of European-led employment of slave labour. Attention is put on the great methodological strides in recent decades, where new and innovative uses of the source material has yielded a wealth of information about slavery as a condition and a process, not least illuminating its gendered aspects. During the course the great structural variety of enslavement and degrees of unfree status over the world will be discussed. Economic-historical theories about the rationale of slavery, from early scholars such as Marx and Nieboer to modern ones such as James Warren and Peter Boomgaard, are surveyed. Moreover, the memories and narratives of slavery in literary texts are analyzed.

This course deals with imperial dominance and resistance and their role in the making of the modern world. You will be introduced to causes and consequences of modern imperialism and colonialism from the 15th century until the present, with particular attention to the period from the mid-18th century until the end of the first World War. The course has a special focus on theories of imperialism and questions of inequality, violence, borderlands, gender, race and cilivisation.

Dear all,

 I have made a preliminary contents plan for the course as seen below. This is by no means not cut in stone, I will be happy to consider suggestions from students. We will discuss details on Lecture 1, but you are also welcome to (and encouraged to!) drop me an email prior to that, to let me know about your expectations and fields of interest.

 The contents of the course will primarily evolve around Chapters 11-15 of the Milton & Arnold book, with particular focus on the Multiple linear regression model, Factorial experiments and Analysis of variance. Matrix algebra will be used to a large extent throughout the course, and I plan to devote 1-2 lectures on important matrix concepts (matrix multiplication, spectral decomposition, matrix inverse, projections, trace etc) and distributional properties of linear and quadratic forms.

 I urge all students to attend Lecture 1 so that we can discuss and decide on the format and contents of the course together.

Preliminary plan of lectures:

 Lecture 1. Introduction to the course, Matrix algebra I

Lecture 2. Matrix algebra II, quadratic forms

Lecture 3. Correlation, causality, data generating mechanisms, OLS and ML

Lecture 4. The multiple linear regression model, I

Lecture 5. The multiple linear regression model, II

Lecture 6. The multiple linear regression model, III

Lecture 7. Analysis of variance

Lecture 8. Factorial experiments

Lecture 9. Categorical data

Lecture 10. The R-software

Lecture 11. Extra, if needed

Lecture 12. Examination (presentations, discussions, oral exam)

The first part of the course complex analysis will be based on the course-book of Harald Cohen which can be found (electronically) in LNU bibliotek. The pdf-file of the compendium with complex-analysis problems (with solutions) can be found in section materials, as the latest post.

All my lectures-seminars  will be recorded and videos will be available.at any time, lessons will be combinations of theoretical lectures and seminars for solution of problems.

This mymoodle site contains a lot material including recorded videos of lectures from the previous years (done by Jochim Toft), they also can be useful, but merely as complementary material. 

The course deals with the design process from a theoretical and methodological perspective. A deeper knowledge of users and their contexts is derived through lectures and assignments regarding User-Centered Design. In addition, the course transitions from UCD to Humanity-Centered Design - HCD where the student can explore how we as humans interact with the systems around us and how this interaction shapes our behaviour.

This knowledge is practically applied through a set of practical assignments which span from design idea to a formulated design concept.

The final assignment of the course is an individual project where the student articulates his/her own design process and practically implements all parts of this process.

The course 1IK433 is also divided into three modules:

M1 - Design Methods and Processes + Behaviour Change

M2 - User-Centered Design + Humanity-Centered Design

M3 - Individual Project
