Qualification Goals

The students shall

  • acquire basic knowledge and skills in analysis, in particular an understanding of the concept of limit values for sequences, series, functions and power series,
  • Recognize connections to their own discipline,
  • practice mathematical and in particular analytical ways of thinking and working on concrete questions, also on technically motivated problems,
  • develop mathematical intuition and learn how to translate it into precise terms and formal justifications,
  • to train their abstraction skills,
  • improve their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion

Prerequisites

None. The competences taught in the following module are recommended: Basic Linear Algebra.
