Contents

Continuation of the contents of an intermediate module, exemplary treatment of current results under inclusion of recent research literature.

The topics come from one of the following areas:

  • numerical analysis
  • optimisation

Qualification Goals

Unchecked automatic translation:
The students shall

  • be introduced to current research results,
  • learn how to deal with research literature,
  • Gain insight into the development of new mathematical results,
  • deepen their mathematical knowledge in a specific field,
  • Acquire the competence to independently work with current scientific articles from national and international journals,
  • practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof techniques),
  • improve their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.

Prerequisites

Translation is missing. Here is the German original:

Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Basismodulen und in Aufbaumodulen (themenabhängig) vermittelt werden
