Qualification Goals
Students can
- derive basic properties of combinatorial structures with the help of probabilistic methods,
- recognize combinatorial structures in different contexts and analyze them with the help of probabilistic methods.
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 recitation classes, their oral communication skills through discussion and free speech in front of an audience.
Prerequisites
Translation is missing. Here is the German original:
Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Modulen Elementare Stochastik und Diskrete Mathematik vermittelt werden.
Applicability
The module can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)
- B.Sc. Mathematics
- B.Sc. Business Mathematics
- M.Sc. Data Science
