Vorkurs Mathematik - Grundlagen für das Informatikstudium (openHPI)

Du möchtest Informatik studieren? Dann bist du in diesem Kurs genau richtig. Ein Informatikstudium stützt sich insbesondere in den ersten Semestern sehr auf einige Grundlagen der Mathematik, die an verschiedenen Schulen mit unterschiedlichem Fokus unterrichtet werden. Dieser Kurs möchte diese Grundlagen wiederholen und erklären. Er ist somit die ideale Vorbereitung auf ein Informatikstudium.

Course information
Wir werden konkret auf diese Inhalte eingehen:
Zahlenbereiche (natürliche und ganze Zahlen, Bruchrechnung, Besonderheit der reellen Zahlen)
Rechnen mit Unbekannten (quadratische Gleichungen, lineare Gleichungssysteme)
Logarithmen und Exponentiation (Rechengesetze und Gleichungen)
Differential- und Integralrechnung (Rechenregeln und Extremstellenfindung)
Für die Teilnahme setzen wir Mathe-Kenntnisse der Oberstufe voraus (Grundkurs Mathe).

Who this course is for
alle, die sich für ein Informatikstudium interessieren
alle, die überlegen, ein MINT-Fach zu studieren
interessierte Öffentlichkeit

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.

Sci: Mathematics

This introductory courses on (Ordinary) Differential Equations are mainly for the people, who need differential equations mostly for the practical use in their own fields. So we try to provide basic terminologies, concepts, and methods of solving various types of differential equations as well as a rudimentary but indispensable knowledge of the underlying theory and some related applications.

Engineering Sci: Mathematics

This course is an introduction to the finite element method as applicable to a range of problems in physics and engineering sciences. The treatment is mathematical, but only for the purpose of clarifying the formulation. The emphasis is on coding up the formulations in a modern, open-source environment that can be expanded to other applications, subsequently.

Une fonction discontinue peut-elle être solution d'une équation différentielle? Comment définir rigoureusement la masse de Dirac (une "fonction" d'intégrale un, nulle partout sauf en un point) et ses dérivées? Peut-on définir une notion de "dérivée d'ordre fractionnaire"? Cette initiation aux distributions répond à ces questions - et à bien d'autres.
