Summary
This is the last part of a three-semester course series in mathematics for computer science students.
This course focuses on the analysis of functions in several variables (continuity, differentiation, optimisation, integration) as well as on probability theory and statistics.
The lectures and general tutorials will be given in English; there will be small-group tutorials in both English and German.
