Modul

The module will be completed by an oral exam (ca. 20 min).

The general aim of this lecture course is threefold:

1) to interconnect different mathematical fields,
2) to connect mathematics and real life problems,
3) to learn to be critical and to ask relevant questions. 

At the end of the course, students can 

• work Project-orientated, 
• link knowledge from different fields,
• develop typical modelling approaches on their own.
  
  

None

Mathematical thinking (as modelling) and mathematical techniques (as tools) meet application problems such as:

• Differential equations
• Population models
• Traffic flow 
• Game theory
• Chaos
• Mechanics and fluids
  
  

Some basic knowledge of numerical mathematics is recommended.
