Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of the course is to get to know selected mathematical problems, methods and models that play a role in everyday life or in the natural sciences. Among other things, possible topics for enriching mathematics lessons in secondary levels 1 and 2 are also shown. In addition to mathematical applications in the natural sciences, examples of mathematical modeling in business and technology are also dealt with. The mathematical spectrum of the course ranges from elementary geometry and properties of the decimal system to the theory of Fourier series and Fourier transformation.
