  • One lecture per participant on the respective topic, largely free and comprehensible for the seminar participants
  • Discussion about the lectures

Qualification Goals

Students will

  • work out an advanced mathematical topic independently.
  • develop their ability to work independently in a scientific manner,
  • practice preparing and breaking down mathematical contexts and supplementing them with explanatory content,
  • further qualify themselves in dealing with and searching scientific literature,
  • practice giving a structured lecture on an advanced mathematical topic,
  • deepen the use of presentation media
  • deepen the ability to hold structured discussions about mathematical content in groups,
  • further qualify themselves in the use of mathematical typesetting programs when preparing seminars.
