MathMods :: Joint MSc

Semester2

The Second Semester of the MathMods programme will focus on Numerics and can be studied at either of our German partner universities.

Semester 2 is designed with the goal of providing the student with advanced skills in both the design of fast and efficient numerical schemes and their implementation. Both skills are essential in the formation of the modern applied mathematician, and are nowadays considered essential in the implementation of mathematical models arising in modern applications of mathematics such as social sciences, urban sciences, economics.
The branch will offer courses centered on numerical methods for ordinary and partial differential equations as main subject. Optional units covering modern scientific computing, optimization, statistics, computer science, and industrial applications will complete this semester. The second semester in Hamburg is characterized by a stronger "engineering oriented" perspective, in that it provides optional units at the interface of Computer Science and case studies of industrial applications of mathematics.
