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
