- Recommended prior knowledge
1. Basics
2. Discrete Mathematics
3. Vector calculus / linear algebra
- Knowledge Broadening
Students have a broad knowledge of mathematical functions and analysis.
- Knowledge Understanding
Students can apply standard mathematical methods of analysis. They can describe and solve subject-specific problems with mathematical functions (modeling and solution skills).
- Application and Transfer
Students will be able to use mathematical functions and assess the analysis taking into account the specific subject matter in computer science.
- Communication and Cooperation
Students can analyze technical problems and transfer them into models with the help of mathematical functions. They can explain these models and discuss them with colleagues.
