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

Sci: Mathematics Statistics & Data Analysis

Build foundational knowledge of data science with this introduction to probabilistic models, including random processes and the basic elements of statistical inference. The world is full of uncertainty: accidents, storms, unruly financial markets, noisy communications. The world is also full of data. Probabilistic modeling and the related field of statistical inference are the keys to analyzing data and making scientifically sound predictions.

Computers are everywhere, they aren't just the desktops and laptops we use for work but the phones in our pockets and even the watches on our wrists are also computers. You probably use a computer every day and in fact you are reading this on a computer! Just because we use computers all the time, doesn't mean that we understand them, or find them easy to use. Computer Science is the science of computers, it is the field of knowledge that experts use to understand computer systems. Knowing a little computer science will help you understand the computers all around you.

Aléatoire : une introduction aux probabilités - Partie 1 (Coursera)

Sci: Mathematics

Ce cours d'introduction aux probabilités a la même contenu que le cours de tronc commun de première année de l'École polytechnique donné par Sylvie Méléard. Le cours introduit graduellement la notion de variable aléatoire et culmine avec la loi des grands nombres et le théorème de la limite centrale. Les notions mathématiques nécessaires sont introduites au fil du cours et de nombreux exercices corrigés sont proposés.
