After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

• Define terms and reflect mathematical relationships in the area of modelling in system simulation.
• Using methods and concepts of modelling and being able to adapt them in different situations.
• Reproduce mathematical sentences that are related to the theory of modelling.
• Reproduce numerical methods and procedures of system simulation and adapt them to given situations.

• Behavioural and state space models
• ODE models
• Numerical methods for system simulation
• Differential algebraic model approaches
• Alternative modelling approaches

In consultation, students are assigned a topic and work on it. The focus is on the theoretical development of the facts of modelling and simulation, a small simulation example is also provided for illustration. The results of the theoretical development and the simulation studies are summarized in a seminar paper and presented at the end to a selected audience.

Die Lehrveranstaltung wird durch Distanzlehre abgehalten, d.h. die Vorbesprechung wird online abgehalten und Treffen mit Betreuer_innen und Präsentationen finden online statt.

Assessment of the progress of the ongoing work on the topic, writing of the seminar paper and assessment of the final presentation.

Basic knowledge of linear algebra and differential equations, as well as numerical mathamatics.
