Knowledge of Python or/and C++ as programming languages is strongly recommended and experience with Jupyter notebooks is recommended. Required courses are the equivalents to the University of Oslo mathematics courses MAT1100, MAT1110, MAT1120 and at least one of the corresponding computing and programming courses INF1000/INF1110 or MAT-INF1100/MAT-INF1100L/BIOS1100/KJM-INF1100. Most universities offer nowadays a basic programming course (often compulsory) where Python is the recurring programming language. -We recommend also refreshing your knowledge on Statistics and Probability theory.
