Teaching

The unit delivers basic courses in mathematics, computer science (including programming languages) and probability/statistics in the bachelor and masters curricula. Higher mathematical training is offered in numerical mathematics, advanced calculus, numerics of finite elements, optimization and scientific programming. Emphasis is put on the mathematical methods that are of vital importance in civil and environmental engineering, mechatronics and electrical engineering. Further topics in operations research and risk analysis are taught in collaboration with the unit of project and construction management. In the doctoral program for engineering sciences further specialized lectures are offered as necessary in data analysis, stochastics and advanced optimization.
