Einführung in die Mathematik der Algorithmik (OpenHPI)

Einführung in die Mathematik der Algorithmik (OpenHPI)

In allen Anwendungen in der Informatik steckt eine große Portion Mathematik. Insbesondere basieren viele Algorithmen, die uns täglich helfen (zum Beispiel Googles Suchalgorithmen oder Routenfindung bei Navigationssytemen) auf cleveren mathematische Einsichten. In diesem Kurs wird die Sprache der modernen Mathematik vorgestellt.

In der ersten Woche werden wir dazu die grundlegenden Bausteine einführen; dabei wird es um Quantoren und Junktoren, sowie Formalisierungen und Spezifikationen gehen. In der zweiten Woche werden wir diese Themen anhand ausgewählter Beispiele (Wegfindung und Googles PageRank Algorithmus) anwenden. In der dritten Woche steigen wir dann etwas tiefer in die Mathematik und lernen mehrere Analysewerkzeuge kennen (z.B. die berühmte "O-Notation")

Für diesen Kurs ist kein akademisches Vorwissen aus der Mathematik nötig. Teilnehmer des Kurses verstehen im Anschluss die mathematische Sprache und verstehen, wie diese bei algorithmischen Fragestellungen angewandt wird.

Inhalt

  • Logikrätsel
  • Junktoren und Quantoren
  • Graphen als Datenstruktur
  • Wegfindealgorithmus
  • PageRank
  • Analyse von Algorithmen

Problem Solving Using Computational Thinking (Coursera)

Have you ever heard that computers "think"? Believe it or not, computers really do not think. Instead, they do exactly what we tell them to do. Programming is, "telling the computer what to do and how to do it." Before you can think about programming a computer, you need to work out exactly what it is you want to tell the computer to do. Thinking through problems this way is Computational Thinking. Computational Thinking allows us to take complex problems, understand what the problem is, and develop solutions. We can present these solutions in a way that both computers and people can understand.

System Validation is the field that studies the fundamentals of system communication and information processing. It is the next logical step in computer science and improving software development in general. It allows automated analysis based on behavioural models of a system to see if a system works correctly. We want to guarantee that the systems does exactly what it is supposed to do.
