After successful completion of the course, students are able to fundamentally understand and rudimentary apply the basic concepts of (higher) mathematics that are required for Building Science.

This course provides an introduction to concepts in higher mathematics and statistics: numbers, counts, vector, matrices; mathematical induction, sequences and series, terms, differential calculus and integrals; basic concepts of statistics, distribution functions, combinatorics.

Moreover, students are enabled to understand basic concepts of the natural science physics, which are of importance to the Building Science and Technology Domain (including mechanics, thermodynamics, optics, acoustics).

amongst others:

Mathematics:

• basic concepts of numbers, counts, vector and matrices
• mathematical induction
• sequences and series
• terms
• differential calculus and integrals

Statistics:

• basic concepts of statistics
• distribution functions
• combinatorics

Physics: Basic knowledge in the field of physics

• Lecture in english language
• Frontal lecture on site or via Online-Live-Sessions
• Discussion of basic concepts
• Discussion of applications.
• Exercises in the Exercise-Part of the Course

+++Mandatory introductory course in the first semester of the Master Curriculum Building Sciences and Environment+++

+++Course can only be attented by Students enrolled in the programme+++

+++Lecture in english language.+++
