Teaching

We offer the following  compulsory courses in the  bachelor programs in the field of computer science (i.e. Computer Science, Software Engineering, Media Computer Science, and  Data Science)

• Statistical and Stochastic Fundamentals
• Numerical Fundamentals

(the Numerical Fundamtals are elective for  Software Engineering and Media Computer Science and compulsory elective in the Simulation Technology program).

If you want to go futher into these topics,

• Fundamentals of Scientific Computing

is the next step - while the problems in the Numerical Fundamentals are suitable for pocket calculators, we challenge our computer here by, among other things, dealing with problems in domains in higher-dimensional spaces (instead of boring intervals) or large systems.

For students that like programming more, we also offer a 

• Programming Project “Galaxy Crash”(In the module description, please open the menus “Courses and exams” and there “Offer Node”)
  

meant as an introduction for the world of Scientific Computing. The main goal is to implement an n-body simulation which simulates the collision of the Milky Way with the Andromeda galaxy. During this Programmierprojekt the participants will also get a feeling for the importance of algorithmic complexities for larger simulations.

Trained by the“Fundamentals of Scientific Computing”, you can attend a number of in-depth courses in the Master's program (or as an Master module taken in advance):

• Basic Principles of Modeling and Simulation
• Numerical Simulation
• High Performance Computing
• Parallel Numerics
• Selected Topics of Scientific Computing
• Simulation Software Engineering
• High-dimensional data approximation and learning
• Lab-Course Scientific Computing

Additionally, we offer the following course for students of other study programs:

• Data Structures and Algorithms (SimTech)
