Presentation of the lecture content and discussion. In addition, there are lecture room experiments to support the theoretical concepts. Once a week there are practical numerical exercises ("Übungen") in groups under the supervision of tutors and heads of groups.
The Vice-Rector of TU Wien has ordered that in the summer-term 2020 (from about mid of March 2020) there is not any furhter possibility of having standard lectures (Präsenzlehre) at our University. Instead lectures have to switch to so-called distant learning. This means, the content of this lecture will be presented via PowerPoint presentations together with audio comments. In addition, further documents will be provided via TISS/TUWEL. Possibilities for discussions via TUWEL will be arranged at those dates, where the lecture would have been held in the Institute building "Freihaus" (Mo, Tue, Wed., 10:15 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.). We start at May 11, 2020.
50% exercises (tests, black-board presentations, number of crossed problems)
