    This is your specific project assignment. The project applies
    topics from the course on real or simulated data, or is about
    concepts we haven't covered yet. Work yourself into the data and
    the topic and in the end present your insights to your fellow
    students. The instructions to your project are meant as a guide to
    get you started, but feel free to come up with own ideas. Do not
    feel limited by the questions. We want to see you diving into it.
    Do not hesitate to contact us for help on problems and to discuss
    your ideas.

    Happy hacking!

    \textbf{Evaluation criteria:}
    For your grade we mainly evaluate the technical aspects of your
    code and figures.  You can view the evaluation criteria in
    \emph{SciCompScoreSheet.pdf} on Ilias.

    \vspace{2ex}
    \textbf{Dates:}
    Deadline for uploading the code and the presentation on ILIAS is\\
    \centerline{\textbf{Sunday, February 21st, 2021, 23:59h}.}

    The presentations are on Monday February 22nd, 09:30--12:00, Tuesday
    February 23rd, 9:30--11:00 and Wednesday 24th, 09:30--12:00.

    \vspace{2ex}
    \textbf{Files:}
    Bundle everything (the code, the data, and the pdf of the
    presentation) into a {\em single} zip-file named with your last
    name.

    \textbf{Hint:} create the zip file you want to upload, unpack it
     somewhere else on your computer and check if your main script
     is still running properly.

    \vspace{2ex}
    \textbf{Code:}
    The code must be executable without any further adjustments from
    our side --- test it! A single \texttt{main.m} script
    coordinates the analysis by calling functions and/or sub-scripts
    (see Box 1.10 in chapter~1) which produce the {\em same} figures
    (\texttt{saveas()}-function, pdf or png format) that you use in
    your slides (of course your code can also generate additional
    figures). The code must be comprehensible by a third person (use
    proper and consistent variable and function names and document
    the code, see chapter~4).  \textbf{Hint:} Find out what RTFM
    means and act accordingly ;). You are allowed and even
    encouraged to use the internet for every aspect of your project.

    \vspace{1ex} 

    \emph{Please note your name and matriculation number as a
    comment at the top of the \texttt{main.m} script.}

    \vspace{2ex}
    \textbf{Presentation:}
    Hand in your presentation as a pdf file.

    The presentation should be {\em at most} 10\,min long and be held
    in English. In the presentation you should present figures
    introducing, explaining, showing, and discussing your data,
    methods, and results. All data-related figures shown in the
    presentation must be produced by your program --- no editing
    or labeling by PowerPoint or other software. It is always a good
    idea to illustrate the problem with basic plots of the
    raw-data. Make sure the axis labels are large enough!
