Contents
Algorithmic methods of algebraic geometry are presented (e.g. Gröbner bases). In addition to theoretical principles and algorithms, exemplary applications can also be explained (e.g. in optimization, statistics, algorithmic complexity, etc.).
Qualification Goals
Students
- understand und use algorithmic methods in the theory of commutative rings,
- can use algorithmic methods to analyze and solve problems in applied mathematics,
- can formulate problems of applied mathematics as problems of polynomial systems of equations (resp. in terms of affine or projective varieties).
They deepen
- the practice of mathematical methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof methods),
- in the problem sets, their oral communication skills through discussion and free speech in front of an audience.
Prerequisites
Translation is missing. Here is the German original:
Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Basismodulen und im Aufbaumodul Algebra vermittelt werden.
Applicability
The module can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)
- B.Sc. Mathematics
- M.Sc. Computer Science
- M.Sc. Mathematics
When studying M.Sc. Mathematics, this module can be attended in the study area Specialization Modules in Mathematics.
The module can also be used in other study programs (export module).
Die Wahlmöglichkeit des Moduls ist dadurch beschränkt, dass es der Reinen Mathematics zugeordnet ist.
