Abstract

Linear Algebra:linear systems, vector calculus, matrix calculus, linear maps, orthogonal maps, trace & determinant, eigenvalues & eigenvectors, vector spacesstochastics:combinatorics, probability, probability densities, statistics

Objective

A sound knowledge of mathematics is an essential prerequisite for a quantitative and computer-based approach to natural sciences. In an intensive two-semester course the most important basic concepts of mathematics, namely univariate and multivariate calculus, linear algebra and statistics are taught.

Content
