The aims of this course are:

1. to provide students with a structured opportunity to obtain practical experience from working, doing maths/computing related work relevant to their level of competence and experience and to enable potential employers to give structured feedback on the student's potential.
2. to ask students to read at least one classical and important research paper on selected mathematical topics that are suggested by their supervisors. In this way, they gain research experience and develop problem-solving abilities. They need to give presentations on the materials that they learn from the research paper and submit a report at the end of the course. This provides training to their presentation skill and enhances their report writing ability.
3. to develop the student's ability to apply academic knowledge in real life situations.
