The aim of the course:
The aim of the course is to teach the basic mathematical techniques, introducing at the same time a number of mathematical skills which can be used for the analysis of problems. The emphasis is on the practical usability of mathematics; this goal is mainly pursued via a large variety of examples and applications from these disciplines.
