Competencies

Non-official translation of the module descriptions. Only the German version is legally binding.

Students expand and deepen their mathematical knowledge and skills in the field of Analysis and can apply them in yet another current research context.

Course type Lecture with tutorials:
The students master the basic contents and methods of a special subject area of Analysis, in particular they can independently carry out complex proofs in this area requiring a high level of mathematical expertise.
Furthermore, students recognise further-reaching connections to previously acquired mathematical facts. They can transfer and apply the knowledge and methods they have learnt so far to other, deeper mathematical problem areas. Students also expand their mathematical intuition through further and more intensive study.
In the tutorials, students develop their ability to discuss mathematical topics and thus further prepare themselves for the requirements of the Master's module, in particular for the scientific discussion within the Master's seminar presentation and the defence of their Master's thesis.

Course type Seminar:

Students are able to give a specialised mathematical presentation independently. They can independently develop a mathematical problem from Analysis, prepare it for a presentation and present it in an understandable way in the presentation and prepare a technically correct elaboration on the contents of the presentation. They will be able to independently fill any gaps, e.g. missing proofs/proof steps or missing illustrative examples.
With the seminar presentation and the preparation of the presentation, students develop both their ability to discuss and write mathematical texts. This prepares them further for the requirements of the Master's module, in particular the writing of the Master's thesis, the Master's seminar presentation including scientfic discussions and the defence of their Master's thesis.

Course type Project:
Students are able to plan, carry out and evaluate a specialised mathematical project (e.g. mathematical modelling of a concrete application situation, creation of a mathematical simulation, programming or software project, development of a mathematical treatise/mathematical materials as part of a reading course) in the field of Analysis, independently. In particular, they will have mastered the scientific content and methods required for the project, especially the independent proving of mathematical theorems.

Content of teaching

The courses in this module lead to current research questions in the field of Analysis in terms of method and content. Possible contents include:

  • Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems
  • Convex Integration Methods in fluid mechanics
  • Quantitative Homogenisation
  • Many-body Quantum Systems and their effective equations

Recommended previous knowledge

Depending on the chosen subject, the requirements will be specified in the course announcement.

Necessary requirements

Explanation regarding the elements of the module

In the module, students either attend a lecture with a tutorial or a seminar or carry out a project.

Study requirements

Allocated examiner Workload LP2
Teaching staff of the course Project Selected Topics in Analysis (project)

Regular exchange and scientific discussion on the project, for example in the form of short reports on the project status and questions on further project design

see above see above
Teaching staff of the course Seminar Selected Topics in Analysis (seminar)

Regular contributions to the scientific discussion in the seminar, for example in the form of comments and questions on the seminar presentations.

see above see above
Teaching staff of the course Tutorials Selected Topics in Analysis (exercise)

Regular completion of the exercises, each with a recognisable solution approach, as well as participation in the exercise groups for the module's lecture. As a rule, participation in the exercise group includes presenting solutions to exercises twice after being asked to do so as well as regular contributions to the scientific discussion in the exercise group, for example in the form of comments and questions on the proposed solutions presented. The organiser may replace some of the exercises with face-to-face exercises.
