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

How efficiently can you pack objects into a minimum number of boxes? How well can you cluster nodes so as to cheaply separate a network into components around a few centers? These are examples of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. It is most likely impossible to solve such problems efficiently, so our aim is to give an approximate solution that can be computed in polynomial time and that at the same time has provable guarantees on its cost relative to the optimum.

Welcome to the class: we are very excited that you are interested in learning more about the foundations of life. In this openHPI course, we will give an introduction about components of human cells and their functions. We dive into the cell core to explore the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA), its structure, and how it stores the code of life.

The Finite Element Method for Problems in Physics (Coursera)

Engineering Sci: Mathematics

This course is an introduction to the finite element method as applicable to a range of problems in physics and engineering sciences. The treatment is mathematical, but only for the purpose of clarifying the formulation. The emphasis is on coding up the formulations in a modern, open-source environment that can be expanded to other applications, subsequently.

Sci: Mathematics

This introductory courses on (Ordinary) Differential Equations are mainly for the people, who need differential equations mostly for the practical use in their own fields. So we try to provide basic terminologies, concepts, and methods of solving various types of differential equations as well as a rudimentary but indispensable knowledge of the underlying theory and some related applications.

Introduction to Mathematical Thinking (Coursera)

Sci: Mathematics

Learn how to think the way mathematicians do - a powerful cognitive process developed over thousands of years. Mathematical thinking is not the same as doing mathematics – at least not as mathematics is typically presented in our school system. School math typically focuses on learning procedures to solve highly stereotyped problems. Professional mathematicians think a certain way to solve real problems, problems that can arise from the everyday world, or from science, or from within mathematics itself.

Introduction à la théorie de Galois (Coursera)

Sci: Mathematics

Le cours expose la théorie de Galois, du classique critère de non-résolubilité des équations polynomiales aux méthodes plus avancées de calcul de groupes de Galois par réduction modulo un nombre premier. Le thème général de cette théorie est l'étude des racines d'un polynôme et concerne en particulier la possibilité de les exprimer à partir des coefficients de ce polynôme. Evariste Galois considère les symétries de ces racines et associe ainsi à ce polynôme un groupe de permutations de ses racines, que l'on appelle maintenant son groupe de Galois.
