This is for various reasons much preferable to working on the problems alone. You can use, for instance, the CMS Forum to find submission partners. Please team up with one or two other students from the same tutorial or having the same tutor. (The following pairs of small-group tutorials have the same tutor: Tutorials 1-2, Tutorials 4-5 and Tutorials 6-7.) You can set up your team in CMS using the Team Groupings function. |
Small-group tutorials have now been assignedWritten on 17.10.25 (last change on 17.10.25) by Frederik Herzberg On your CMS personal status page, you can now see to which tutorial you have been assigned. The small-group tutorials will start on 27 October. The general tutorial will already start next Wednesday, 22 October (4:00-5:30pm in Hörsaal II of E2 5). |
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.
Lectures
Wednesday, 8:30-10:00, Günter Hotz Hörsaal
Friday, 12:15-13:45, Günter Hotz Hörsaal
The Günter Hotz Hörsaal is located in building E2 2; an interactive campus map can be found here.
Course materials are available here.
Start date: 15 October.
General tutorial
Wednesday, 16:00-17:30, Hörsaal II
Hörsaal II is located in building E2 5; an interactive campus map can be found here.
The general tutorial will cover solutions to sample problems. This is also your opportunity to ask questions that have not been addressed in the small-group tutorials.
Start date: 22 October.
Small-group tutorials
On your CMS personal status page, you can now see to which tutorial you have been assigned.
(There are five tutorials in the first four time slots, all in English. In the two bilingual tutorials, students may ask questions in both German and English. In addition, there are two tutorials in German.)
The small-group tutorials will start on 27 October.
The small-group tutorials will cover the solutions to the assignments. (Further questions will be discussed in the general tutorial, along with sample problems.)
Assignments
There will be weekly assignments, which will be uploaded on Wednesdays, starting in the very first week (available here).
The submission deadline is the following Wednesday at 08:30am, via CMS. You must submit your solutions in teams of two or three students.
Exam
To be admitted to the (written) exam, you must achieve at least 50% of the total score of the assignments.
Students who have actively participated in the small-group tutorials will even be admitted to the exam if they have achieved at least 45% of the total score of the assignments.
