== Rooms ==
* 8:00–10:00: room 002.
* 10:30–12:30: rooms 002, 004 and PC2.

== Important dates ==
* For the lab part, we will have midterm presentations Nov 9th.
* For the lab part, we will have the final presentations Dec 21th (or in January?).
* Nov 18th: first 4 modules of the online course on information management should be complete by then, and the research by topic should also be complete.

== Units ==
# Information management (online)
# Seminars: Applied Mathematics Seminar and Professional/Entrepreneurship Seminar
# Students seminar
#* Chapters 1 to 8 of the book Sam Howison: ''Practical Applied Mathematics: Modelling, Analysis, Approximation''. Cmabridge Unuiversity Press, 2005.
#* Presentations will be based on a chapter (or part) of this book.
# Modelling laboratory (main part of the course)

== Grade ==
* Information unit: 10% (groups of 3, you will do the groups)
* Student seminar + participation in seminar: 25% (groups of 3 different from IU)
* Project: 40% (groups of 4-5 according to interest)
* Optional (exam): 25%

== Projects ==
=== Corporate Default Forecasting with Machine Learning ===
''Jordi Moragas, Bluecap Management Consulting''

Machine learning to predict the probability that someone will be able to get into a loan without faulting. We will focus on the data science process. Python.

=== COVID Vaccine Roll-out solution ===
''Sandra O., Patricio P., Tomás B., Quim A.; Accenture''

Python, but there's another possibility.

=== '''Learning''' to throw rigid objects with a robotic arm ===
''Adrià Colomé, IRII''

We will teach a robot to throw an object from a starting point to a target one. Python (or Matlab).

=== Motion planning for a car-like robot in a cluttered environment ===
''Federico Thomas, IRI''

We'll determine a path between a start and end point on a plane with obstacles. The car will have to maneuver. Matlab.

=== Improving techniques for carbon capture (and other environmental contaminants) ===
''Tim Myers, Centre de Recerca Matemàtica''

Mathematical model which measures how much CO2 is adsorbed by some weird thingy they've made.

=== Coral reefs. Their importance and demise ===
''Dr Lucy C Auton, CRM''

Model to evaluate the key actions we can take to partially fix the problem. Matlab.
