Contents

Complex systems and stochastic behavior are studied as hallmarks of physics in both biological and non-biological systems. Fluids, flows, or nonlinear dynamics are typical examples. Theoretical or experimental approaches can introduce subfields of biological and statistical physics by example.


Qualification Goals

In a second contact with the module series Biological and Statistical Physics, students deepen their knowledge of the objects and methods of this field. Through this, they improve their abilities to apply methods in a goal-oriented manner and to evaluate methodological approaches. They gain greater confidence in assessing questions and evaluating possible solutions.


Prerequisites

None.


Applicability

Module imported from B.Sc. Physik.

When studying M.Sc. Mathematics, this module can be attended in the study area Minor subject Physics.
