Qualification Goals
Students will
- recognize the limitations of standard procedures when the problem entails special requirements,
- can find problem-adequate solutions,
- can exemplify how concrete practical developments influence the problems of applied mathematics,
- recognize how strongly theoretical analysis determines the framework for numerical procedures; in particular, the importance of functional analytical concepts for numerical problems has become clear,
- have practiced mathematical working methods (developing mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, reasoning),
- have improved their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and in discussion.
Prerequisites
None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: either Foundations of Mathematics and Linear Algebra I and Linear Algebra II or Basic Linear Algebra, either Analysis I and Analysis II or Basic Real Analysis, Numerical Analysis. Functional analysis is helpful but not required.
