Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Mathematics II and Statistics
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Industrial Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2007
Module code: WIBAS-230
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.

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.
4V+2U (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.
9

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

WIBAS-230 (P450-0067) Industrial Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2007 , semester 2, 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 270 hours (equivalent to 9 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 202.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
WIBAS-450/550-M2f

Learning outcomes:
Mathematics II:
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to solve problems using approximation methods, have mastered the elementary techniques of differential and integral calculus, will be able to solve geometric, physical, technical and business problems using calculus and will be able to model a real-life situation using mathematical methods.
 
Statistics:
Students will be able to process mass data using descriptive statistics methods and interpret such processing. They will be able to recognize stochastic situations as such and model them using stochastic methods. They will be able to calculate probability, determine appropriate distribution shapes, and calculate distribution parameters. They will have a basic understanding of hypothesis testing methods.
