240031 Proseminar "Lineare Algebra in Aktion" (PS) (WiSe 2026/2027)

Contents, comment

Dieses Proseminar richtet sich an Studierende, die neugierig auf Anwendungen von Methoden und Resultaten der Linearen Algebra sind.
Beispielsweise lassen sich Graphen durch Invarianten der Linearen Algebra wie Spur und Determinante untersuchen, was eine Verbindung zu Kombinatorik und Datenstrukturen herstellt. Auch der PageRank, mit dessen Hilfe Algorithmen von Suchmaschinen für das WWW ihre Ergebnislisten erzeugen, basiert im Kern auf der Berechnung eines Eigenvektors.

Hauptquelle des Seminars ist das Buch “Thirty-three miniatures mathematical and algorithmic applications of linear algebra” von Jiri Matousek. Hierin finden sich Anwendungen der linearen Algebra auf verschiedene Gebiete wie Kombinatorik, Geometrie und Nachrichten Übermittlung.

Als Vorkenntnisse werden lediglich die Vorlesungen Lineare Algebra 1 und 2 benötigt.

Es wird zu Beginn des Wintersemesters ein Treffen zur Vorbesprechung und Verteilung der Themen geben.
