[Shape-univ] Cosmo/LicMagTematy

[Boud Roukema]

Witam Andrzej, wszystkich,

Andrzej Strobel asked for licencjat/magisterki themes. So i've slightly updated

Andrzej: below is my proposed text.

Observational Cosmology Masters/Licencjat Project - General Outline

Description:

There are many possible projects which could be done as a master's
thesis project, in using publicly available archival data from
observational surveys to constrain one or more of the local or global
cosmological parameters, either those related to shape (curvature,
topology) or maybe also those unrelated to shape ("dark energy" or
"dark matter"). The precise projects would be chosen in discussion
with the masters/licencjat students. Please see
http://cosmo.torun.pl/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Cosmo/CosmoProjects for
projects that the cosmology group is working on and
http://cosmo.torun.pl/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Cosmo/CosmoNews for ideas on
the hottest topics in cosmology research - any of these would be
appropriate if the student is sufficiently interested. Some examples
are on http://cosmo.torun.pl/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Cosmo/LicMagTematy.

General Requirements:
    * basic knowledge in astronomy, physics, mathematics, computing skills

    * desire to measure something about the shape of the Universe
      and/or dark matter or dark energy or other observational cosmology

    * willingness both to learn from and to teach others interested in
      observational cosmology at TCfA

    * willingness to learn the following practical skills:
      touch-typing, emacs, \LaTeX, usage of wikis and/or mailing lists
      for communication, GPL compatible programming

    * participation in the "Shape of the Universe" monograph course
      and/or Bronek Rudak's semester 9 "Kosmologia" course:
          o http://cosmo.torun.pl/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Cosmo/MonographCosmo
          o http://www.ncac.torun.pl/~bronek/KOS.html

    * Nie ma problemu jeśli student magistera lub licjencacki
      (jeszcze) nie dobrze mówi po angielsku, ale potrzeba znać czytać
      i rozumieć angielskie tekst, np na http://arXiv.org/
