      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.

      Solid background in linear algebra. Knowledge in combinatorics and geometry is advantageous.

      Comments

      Physical presence in the exercises on Wednesdays is mandatory.

      This is the first in a series of three courses on discrete geometry. The aim of the course is a skillful handling of discrete geometric structures including analysis and proof techniques. The material will be a selection of the following topics:
      Basic structures in discrete geometry

      • polyhedra and polyhedral complexes
      • configurations of points, hyperplanes, subspaces
      • Subdivisions and triangulations (including Delaunay and Voronoi)
      • Polytope theory
      • Representations and the theorem of Minkowski-Weyl
      • polarity, simple/simplicial polytopes, shellability
      • shellability, face lattices, f-vectors, Euler- and Dehn-Sommerville
      • graphs, diameters, Hirsch (ex-)conjecture
      • Geometry of linear programming
      • linear programs, simplex algorithm, LP-duality
      • Combinatorial geometry / Geometric combinatorics
      • Arrangements of points and lines, Sylvester-Gallai, Erdos-Szekeres
      • Arrangements, zonotopes, zonotopal tilings, oriented matroids
      • Examples, examples, examples
      • regular polytopes, centrally symmetric polytopes
      • extremal polytopes, cyclic/neighborly polytopes, stacked polytopes
      • combinatorial optimization and 0/1-polytopes

       

      For students with an interest in discrete mathematics and geometry, this is the starting point to specialize in discrete geometry. The topics addressed in the course supplement and deepen the understanding for discrete-geometric structures appearing in differential geometry, topology, combinatorics, and algebraic geometry.

      Comments

      Content:
      Functional analysis is the branch of mathematics dealing with the study of normed (or general topological) vector spaces and continuous mappings between them. Thus, analysis, topology and algebra are linked.
      The course deals with Banach and Hilbert spaces, linear operators and functionals as well as spectral theory of compact operators.

      Target group: Students from the 3rd/4th semester on.

      Requirements: Good command of the material of the courses Analysis I/II and Linear Algebra I/II.

      In line with the Science Council's demand for consideration of the growing importance of media literacy, according to which teachers should be enabled to prepare students for the competent use of information and communication technologies and to make digital media available for teaching and learning processes in schools, this seminar will focus on the following topics discuss the functions and effects of digital media in teaching and learning processes, analysing the possibilities of Internet and software use in mathematics lessons and demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of using these digital tools using selected examples.

      The focus is on the practical handling of the possibilities of the Internet and selected programs (spreadsheet and dynamic geometry software). This is to take place in the form of intensive small group work. Afterwards, it is necessary to question the use of the respective tool with regard to achieving the goals of mathematics teaching and to work out examples for a problem-adequate application.

      Forms of active participation: active participation in discussions, working on tasks, presentations of projects. The module examination takes the form of an exam (60 min).

      In this seminar we will deal with a current field of research in mathematics education. Innovative teaching concepts (e.g. research-based/self-organized/dialogical learning) form the main focus of the seminar and are developed in a theoretical and practical context.

      On the basis, methods and results of mathematics education research, own questions for learning and teaching mathematics are formulated, discussed and concretely developed. The students gain an insight into the methods of mathematics education research.

      In line with the Science Council's demand for consideration of the growing importance of media literacy, according to which teachers should be enabled to prepare students for the competent use of information and communication technologies and to make digital media available for teaching and learning processes in schools, this seminar will focus on the following topics discuss the functions and effects of digital media in teaching and learning processes, analysing the possibilities of Internet and software use in mathematics lessons and demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of using these digital tools using selected examples.

      The focus is on the practical handling of the possibilities of the Internet and selected programs (spreadsheet and dynamic geometry software). This is to take place in the form of intensive small group work. Afterwards, it is necessary to question the use of the respective tool with regard to achieving the goals of mathematics teaching and to work out examples for a problem-adequate application.

      Forms of active participation: active participation in discussions, working on tasks, presentations of projects. The module examination takes the form of an exam (60 min).

      In this seminar we will deal with a current field of research in mathematics education. Innovative teaching concepts (e.g. research-based/self-organized/dialogical learning) form the main focus of the seminar and are developed in a theoretical and practical context.

      On the basis, methods and results of mathematics education research, own questions for learning and teaching mathematics are formulated, discussed and concretely developed. The students gain an insight into the methods of mathematics education research.

      Individual meetings may be held in blocks.

      Undergraduate seminar “Good Mathematical Teaching at University”

      What actually happens when students reflect on university teaching and redesign it to promote learning?

      It is always easy to criticize existing concepts—but that alone does not change anything! That's why we want to take the frequently demanded student participation literally and give you the opportunity to contribute your experiences, expertise, and perspective as learners to the further development of good university teaching.

      Let's engage in a thought experiment—perhaps a crazy one?

      • What would happen if students designed a math lecture that was meaningful and useful to them? Or even an entire module?
      • What kind of tutorials do you think are useful? What activities (thinking, calculating, discussing...) should take place in the respective courses (lectures, exercises, central exercises...) and in what format (frontal, individual, group...)?
      • And what about the teaching materials: What should exercises look like? Lecture notes? Exams?

      Procedure

      After a short general introduction, we will devote three weeks to each topic (designing lectures, (central) exercises, lecture notes, exercise sheets, exams), gather inspiration, and then work out our “good” approaches in pairs.

      At the end of the semester, we want to discuss and try out the ideas, approaches, and concepts you have developed with university lecturers!

       

      Requirements

      It is essential that you already have some experience with university teaching! You should have attended at least 2‒3 introductory lectures in mathematics. The focus will not so much be on the content taught there, but rather on becoming familiar with mathematical work at the university. More important than the individual subject content is a basic understanding of mathematical thinking and working methods—and, in particular, an interest in contemporary teaching.    

      Note: It is not planned to write a bachelor's thesis based on this proseminar. If you would like to write a thesis on a topic related to your proseminar, we recommend one of the other courses offered.
