Practical Course: Mathematical Modelling

A central part of the study program is a practical course on mathematical modelling, which is part of the module ”Wissenschaftliches Rechnen” (Computational Science). In this course interesting problems arising from natural sciences are modelled mathematically and solved approximately using appropriate numerical methods. After successful computational simulations the students interpret their results and give a short presentation.

Typically the practical course is hold once a year by two professors, one from mathematics and one from the corresponding natural science:
