      Comments

      This is for a course in German - Short explanation in English:

      Mathematical Panorama is a two-hour overview course for First-Semester students of Mathematics (in particular, but not only, for teacher students) that presents the wide field of modern Mathematics - its history, its topics, its problems, its methods, some basic concepts, applications, etc.

      This could be augmented by another two-hour course Mathematical Panorama II (next summer); both courses together count as the four-hour course Panorama of Mathematics (which is listed in some curricula at FU Berlin). There will also be a seminar in the summer term, where some topics connected to the course are treated actively (by the participants).

      Participants should feel comfortable with the contents of 'Linear algebra 1', and perhaps 'Linear algebra 2'. If there are interested students who have already done the 'Algebra und Zahlentheorie' module, we will also be able to find interesting topics for them.

      Comments

      In this (pro)seminar we will recapitulate the basics of group theory and study a few deeper properties and theorems. Possible topics are: solvable groups, nilpotent groups, representations of finite groups, the theorem of Schur-Zassenhaus, the theorems of P. Hall.

      Basics of non-standard analysis (according to Nelson)

      In the analysis, calculating with in?nitesimalen sizes is formalized by the Grenzwertbegri?. Robinson has extended the body of real numbers so that it contains in?nitesimale elements, i.e. positive numbers that are smaller than all positive real numbers. Nelson later observed that the axioms of set theory can be expanded so that the "usual body" of the real numbers "standard" and "non-standard elements". Among the non-standard elements ?nden are again those that are positive and smaller than all positive standard elements.

       

      The proseminar will discuss how the basic statements of the analysis can be reformulated and proven with the help of the in?nitesimalen elements. The proseminar is divided into the following sections:

      I. Logical basis of NSA

      II. Analysis I in the language of the NSA

      III. advanced applications of NSA

      IV. A look at Robinson's NSA

      For mathematicians and computer scientists in a monobachelor's degree, creditable as ABV!

      Comments

      The seminar focuses on the development and rediscovery of the life stories and the work of some important mathematicians and computer scientists in the 19th and 20th centuries. The life and work of Sophie Germaine (1776-1831), Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), Sonja Kovalevskaya (1850-1891), Emmy Noether (1882-1935), Ruth Moufang (1905-1977), Grace Murray Hopper (1906-1992) and other female scientists are examined.

      The seminar is not about highlighting these women as an exception, because it would only set them on their exotic status. Rather, it is about a historical contextualization of their life and work. This not only enables an exemplary examination of social and cultural inclusion and exclusion processes along the gender category, but also the development of new perspectives on the traditional cultural history of both disciplines. The seminar is based on the approach of researching or discovering learning, i.e. the students will independently prepare and present individual seminar topics in group work. These presentations will then be discussed in the seminar. Through the use of observation sheets, a feedback culture is also to be tested that will be helpful in dealing with pupils and/or colleagues in later professional life.

      Contents:
      Computers play an important role in (almost) all situations in life today. Computer-oriented mathematics provides basic knowledge in dealing with computers for solving mathematical problems and an introduction to algorithmic thinking. At the same time, typical mathematical software such as Matlab and Mathematica will be introduced. The motivation for the questions under consideration is provided by simple application examples from the aforementioned areas. The content of the first part includes fundamental terms of numerical calculation: number representation and rounding errors, condition, efficiency and stability.
