Mathematical Modelling and Simulation (Winter Semester 2014/15)
- Lecturer: PD Dr. Gudrun Thäter
- Classes: Lecture (0109400), Problem class (0109500)
- Weekly hours: 2+1
The general aim of this lecture course is threefold:
1) to interconnect different mathematical fields
2) to connect mathematics and real life problems
3) to learn to be critical and to ask relevant questions.

We deal with topics such as
- Game theory
- Oscillation
- Population Models
- Simulation of traffic
- Wiener processes
- Chaotic behavior
- Heat conduction process
- Fluids and flow
There are no special prerequisites.
During the lecture course there will be one lecture of a person from industry.
Examination
To earn the credits you have to attend the lecture and finish the work on one project during the term in a group of 2-3 persons. The topic of the project is up to the choice of each group.
