Learning objectives

Knowledge

• are able to explain important notions, results and theories connected to a central mathematical subject area
• can relate such results to application(s) outside the subject area

Skills

• are able to apply a number of methods and tools from a specific mathematical subject area

• can assess whether a specific result is valid and/or whether a specific method can be applied under prescribed circumstances

• are able to form a mathematical model describing a problem amenable to a mathematical investigation and to perform a mathematical analysis that sheds light on the initiating problem

• can independently select adequate mathematical methods and tools that help treating certain questions amenable to a mathematical investigation

• are able to ponder about the applicability range of mathematical tools

Competences

• are able to navigate and to develop independently in work situations that are not structured beforehand
