Numerical Methods and Statistics

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Numerical Methods and Statistics
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Mechatronics, Master, ASPO 01.04.2020
Module code: MTM.NUS
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.
P231-0012
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.
5V+1U (6 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.
7
Semester: 1
Mandatory course: yes
Language of instruction:
German
Assessment:
Written exam 150 min.

[updated 01.10.2020]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

MTM.NUS (P231-0012) Mechatronics, Master, ASPO 01.04.2020 , semester 1, 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).
90 class hours (= 67.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 210 hours (equivalent to 7 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 142.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
MTM.SIM Simulation of Mechatronic Systems

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this part of the module, students will have mastered the use of MATLAB and Simulink.
Students will be able to represent linear and non-linear systems of equations in the programs and will be familiar with various solution methods.
They will understand the significance of the Fourier transform and will be able to calculate and evaluate given time signals independently.
Based on the theory of differentiation and integration, they will be able to differentiate and integrate functions numerically using various methods.
Afterwards, students will be able to apply the different methods to practical examples.
 
In the field of statistics, they will be proficient in the graphical representation of a single characteristic, as well as the calculation of various key figures.
In order to evaluate different characteristics, students will be familiar with and be able to apply different measures of correlation.
They will also be able to carry out a linear regression and know how to transform data if necessary.
In the field of probability theory, students will understand the basic concepts and have a repertoire of different distributions for various standard applications.
Finally, they will be able to use key figures of the data to infer the optimal parameters of a chosen model and derive various statements about further events (tests).
