Contents
Creation of software in a modern programming language in a small working group and under supervision. In the software, procedures and algorithms from a mathematical advanced module (e.g. numerics, optimization, stochastics, discrete mathematics) are implemented efficiently. The software is documented.
Qualification Goals
Students will be able to
- implement mathematical algorithms in small working groups under supervision but largely independently,
- model mathematical objects in suitable data structures,
- acquire the necessary, more detailed knowledge of the procedures used and the development environment.
- implement mathematical procedures in software,
- organize a software project in a team.
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, Object-oriented Programming or Declarative Programming. In addition, we recommend the competences that are taught in the relevant intermediate or advanced module.
Applicability
The module can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)
- B.Sc. Mathematics
- BA Minor Mathematics
When studying B.Sc. Mathematics, this module can be attended in the study area Practical Modules.
The module can also be used in other study programs (export module).
