In January 2010 I will lecture in the the DTU 3-week course 01036: Mathematical Methods in Construction Mechanics.

In Fall Semester 2009 I will lecture in the the DTU course 01035: Advanced Engineering Mathematics.

In 2006-2008 I have lectured in the DTU course 01009: Linear and Differentiable Structures, the introductory DTU math course, in a version for Health and Production engineering students.

In the 3-week period 12-16 June 2006 I conducted with my graduate student Nikolaj Nordkvist a short DCAMM-course on Classical Mechanics and Symplectic Integration at DTU.

In the Spring of 2004 I lectured at USD Maersk Institue in the course AM16 Introduction to Control Theory.

I supervise 2 graduate students:

Torben Amby at SDU/Siemens who works on magnetic flow meters.

Marie Bro , joint DTU-SDU, who works on the mechanics of robotic gripping.


I lecture at the University Extension in Copenhagen ("Folkeuniversitetet"). Here are some pdf versions of lectures I have given there.

Lecture on the Golden Section (see also the links below)

Lecture on Kepler's Laws

Lecture on Differential Equations and Dynamics

Lecture on the early evolution of Relativity


I regularly visit high schools and speak about the excitement of mathematics, the natural sciences, and technological research.



In 2001 I appeared briefly in a TV-programe which discussed some of the mathematics associated with patterns in nature.



The surfer interested in more details re the answer to the question posed on the image above (i.e., many more details than is given in the tv-program) is referred to the superb web page of R. Knott , University of Surrey.
