WiSe 23/24: Seminar Discrete Mathematics I
Niels Lindner
Additional information / Pre-requisites
Whiteboard: The main communication channel is the Whiteboard system at FU. The list of topics will be announced on the Whiteboard homepage of the course at the beginning of the winter term.
Prerequisites: Solid knowledge of linear algebra and basic knowledge of discrete mathematics is recommended.
Writing a report in professional LaTeX quality (about 5-8 pages) summarizing the main contents of your talk is mandatory for successful participation. The reports should include a literature review. The report has to be submitted before the talk. At least one weak before the final presentations, you will receive feedback on your report.
The final presentations should take about 45 minutes plus time for questions. Participating actively and regularly at all events of the seminar and submitting the summary in time is necessary for passing the seminar.
The final grade is composed of the talk (2/3) and the written report (1/3).
closeComments
The Seminar on Discrete Mathematics I deals with linear codes. Such codes come into action when information is transmitted via error-prone channels, e.g., when typing card numbers, or in wireless networks. Linear codes use methods of linear algebra and discrete mathematics to detect or even correct transmission errors.
