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

Líneas rectas, círculos, parábolas, elipses e hipérbolas son figuras geométricas que encontramos en nuestro derredor. Por ejemplo, mucha gente sabe que los planetas en nuestro sistema solar se mueven en órbitas elípticas teniendo al astro rey en un foco de esta figura. Sin embargo, pocos saben que la plaza de San Pedro en el Vaticano está construída sobre elipses donde sus focos se encuentran sobre las fuentes donde mucha gente se toma fotos. Estos son dos ejemplos que muestran la importancia de las figuras geométricas en nuestra vida.
