Form of study
Distance form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Know the general laws of crystal structure of bodies, Fourier analysis. Be able to analyze and process the results of experimental measurements if necessary. To have skills of mathematical transformations, construction of algorithms, methods of approximation and methods of processing of experimental results; fluent in common terms in the relevant field of research.
Course content
The aim of the course is to teach the graduate student to focus on the main or key issues of the study, as well as to learn to notice side facts that may seem insignificant at first glance, but may hide the beginning of important discoveries. It is not enough for a researcher to establish a new fact, it is important to give him an explanation from the standpoint of modern science, to reveal its general cognitive, theoretical or practical significance.
