Kurser (Courses in danish)

This is a quick description of my classes. Prepare yourself. Don't get too excited. ;)

This is a photo of my Java programming class. Java is a programming language, i.e. a method of communicating with computers. I am taking it because I’m interested in going into a field of engineering that is very multidisciplinary and I’ve really enjoyed the programming experience that I’ve had so far.  I’m actually embarrassed about how happy I am to take this class. ;) We meet for this class once a week on Tuesdays for 4 hours.

Lastly, this is a photo of my math class. It is called partial differential equations (=PDEs). PDEs are ways to describe things that happen often in nature. It is the most important field in applied mathematics and so I’m happy for the opportunity to learn about it. We meet for this class once a week for 7.5 hours (3 hours of lectures and 4.5 hours of group exercises).  My prof. is pretty good for this one.  He is sort of tall and, well, math-like. He has a tendency to value the process of getting an answer as much as getting the answer itself which means that we can spend a lot of time in class going over proofs and derivations instead of focusing primarily on the results. But he's pretty dynamic so it's not hard to be engaged with what he's teaching. 

PDE

My robotics class focuses on the mathematical and programming aspects of industrial robotics. In this class we’re going to solve 20 math problems and in the process gain an understanding of how to describe the movement of an industrial robot. Then we will translate these mathematical descriptions into a programming language called Matlab and control an actual robot. We meet for 4 hours once a week on Tuesdays. I’ve got a pretty good professor for this class, meaning that he explains complicated things clearly and often multiple times. I forgot the camera this day so I didn't get a picture of this one.
