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.

  • Logikrätsel
  • Junktoren und Quantoren
  • Graphen als Datenstruktur
  • Wegfindealgorithmus

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.

Programming Fundamentals (Coursera)

Programming is an increasingly important skill, whether you aspire to a career in software development, or in other fields. This course is the first in the specialization Introduction to Programming in C, but its lessons extend to any language you might want to learn. This is because programming is fundamentally about figuring out how to solve a class of problems and writing the algorithm, a clear set of steps to solve any problem in its class.

Solving Algorithms for Discrete Optimization (Coursera)

Discrete Optimization aims to make good decisions when we have many possibilities to choose from. Its applications are ubiquitous throughout our society. Its applications range from solving Sudoku puzzles to arranging seating in a wedding banquet. The same technology can schedule planes and their crews, coordinate the production of steel, and organize the transportation of iron ore from the mines to the ports.
