Higher Mathematics II (Numerical Methods and Statistics)

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Higher Mathematics II (Numerical Methods and Statistics)
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Electrical Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2005
Module code: E806
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
3V+1U (4 hours per week)
ECTS credits:
European Credit Transfer System. Points for successful completion of a course. Each ECTS point represents a workload of 30 hours.
5
Semester: 8
Mandatory course: yes
Language of instruction:
German
Assessment:
Written exam

[updated 12.03.2010]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

E806 Electrical Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 8, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
E801 Higher Mathematics I (Vector analysis)

Learning outcomes:
Statistical and numerical methods play a major role in engineering, particularly in the field of mechatronics. They are important when designing experiments and analysing and evaluating observation data, as well as for modelling, simulating and optimizing processes, and when attempting to identify and model interdependencies. Basic aspects of statistics and probability calculus are also required in determining the correct results in many electrical and electronic engineering applications.
After completing this module, students will be in a position to tackle complex statistical and numerical problems of practical relevance by applying the appropriate methods and techniques working individually or in collaboration with mathematicians.
