Course list

This page contains an overview of most courses I took during my studies at Georgia Augusta. The course descriptions are taken from infolv, a webpage maintained by the Faculty of Forest Sciences & Ecology, and the UNIVIS, the university information database.
Most texts are unmodified. I have made small alterations to some titles, when the English translation was not appropriate or missing, such as 'Jagdrecht' to German Hunting Law. However, no information on course content, number of ECTS etc. has been touched.
The information can easily be verifyed on the net at UNIVIS Georgia Augusta.

Differential- und Integralrechnung I (Diff I)

Dozent/in
Prof. Dr. Horst S. Holdgrün

Angaben
Vorlesung, 4 SWS, Schein
Zeit und Ort: Mo, Mi 11:00 - 13:00, Max
ab 16.10.2900

Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches
Die Vorlesung bildet neben der Analytischen Geometrie und Linearen Algebra die Grundlage für jedes weitere Studium der Mathematik als Haupt- oder Nebenfach und sollte deshalb von allen Studenten der Mathematik und der Physik gehört werden. Wichtiger Bestandteil der Vorlesung sind die zugehörigen Übungen, ohne die eine fundierte Aneignung des Stoffes nicht möglich ist. Die erfolgreiche Teilnahme an den Übungen ist überdies Voraussetzung für die Zulassung zur Diplomvorprüfung oder Zwischenprüfung. In dem Praktikum wird den Studenten in zwangloser Weise die Möglichkeit zu einem besseren Verständnis der Vorlesung geboten.
Die technischen und organisatorischen Abläufe werden jeweils zu Beginn der Veranstaltungen erläutert. Es ist daher ratsam, bei den ersten Terminen anwesend zu sein.

Inhalt
Stichworte zum Inhalt: reelle und komplexe Zahlen, Folgen, Reihen, Grenzwerte, stetige Funktionen, spezielle Funktionen wie Logarithmus, Exponentialfunktion, trigonometrische Funktionen, Gammafunktion, Vertauschung von Grenzprozessen, metrische Räume, topologische Grundbegriffe, Differentiation und Integration. Der sogenannte Hauptsatz der Differential- und Integralrechnung bildet einen Höhepunkt, aber nicht den Abschluß der Vorlesung.
Im kommenden Semester wird die Vorlesung mit der Behandlung von Funktionen mehrerer Variablen fortgesetzt.

Empfohlene Literatur

In erster Linie empfehle ich mein erst vor kurzem erschienenes Lehrbuch mit dem Titel ``Analysis'', dem die Vorlesung in weiten Teilen folgen wird. Jeder lernt aber verschieden, und daher ist es gut, auch andere Bücher zu Rate zu ziehen. Ich erwähne die einschlägigen Texte von (in alphabetischer Reihenfolge) Dieudonné, Forster, Grauert, Heuser, Jost und Maak, ohne damit Vollständigkeit angestrebt zu haben.

Diskrete Mathematik für InformatikerInnen (A)

Dozentinnen/Dozenten
Prof. Samuel James Patterson, Ph.D., N.N.

Angaben
Vorlesung mit Übung, 4 SWS, Schein
Zeit und Ort: Di, Fr 11:00 - 13:00, HS 1
ab 17.4.2001

Inhalt
Diese Vorlesung bildet einen Teil des Studiengangs "Angewandte Informatik"; sie richtet sich an Studierende im 2. Semester. Der Ausdruck "Diskrete Mathematik" deckt sehr heterogene Teile der Mathematik; die Vorlesung wird aus vier Teilen bestehen:

1. Zahlentheorie
2. Algebraische Strukturen (Boolesche Algebra, endliche Körper)
3. Kombinatorik
4. Graphentheorie.

Alle spielen wichtige Rollen in verschiedenen Teilen der Informatik.

Empfohlene Literatur
Es gibt mittlerweise sehr viele Bücher über "Diskrete Mathematik für Informatiker". Die ersten beiden Bände von D.E. Knuths "The Art of Computer Programming" sind eine der besten Darstellungen. Bescheidener und etwa im Stil dieser Vorlesung ist:
K. Rosen: Discrete Mathematics and its Applications. Mc Graw-Hill.

Informatik IIb (A) (Bachelor-Master-Studiengang)

Dozent/in
Prof. Dr. Robert M. Switzer

Angaben
Vorlesung mit Übung, 4 SWS
Zeit und Ort: Di, Fr 14:00 - 16:00, Max
ab 17.4.2001

Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches
Einteilung in Übungsgruppen in der ersten Vorlesung.

Inhalt
Diese ist die zweite einführende Vorlesung für den Bachelor-Master-Studiengang Informatik. Sie bildet zusammen mit Informatik Ib und den Folgevorlesungen Informatik III und IV das Fundament für das Informatikstudium in Göttingen.

In diesem zweiten Semester wird die künstliche Beschränkung des sequentiellen Programmierens aufgehoben. Wir untersuchen, welche zusätzlichen Sprachmittel benötigt werden, um erfolgreich nebenläufig (parallel) programmieren zu können und welche neuen Schwierigkeiten dabei auftreten.

In einem zweiten Abschnitt untersuchen wir, wie eine Rechenmaschine beschaffen sein müßte, damit sie die Semantik unserer Programme implementieren könnte. Zunächst betrachten wir eine abstrakte Maschine, die in Software realisiert ist. Das führt zu dem sog. Betriebssystem.

Danach in einem Dritten Abschnitt untersuchen wir Möglichkeiten, diese abstrakte Maschine mit einer physikalischen Maschine zu realisieren. D. h. wir beschäftigen uns mit Rechnerarchitektur.

Empfohlene Literatur
Die hier aufgeführten Bücher bieten interessante und informative Lektüre für neugierige Studierende. Sie eignen sich jedoch nicht als Lehrbücher (im klassischen Sinn) für die Vorlesung. Mit 'Lehrbuch im klassischen Sinn' meine ich ein Buch, in dem man einen grossen Teil des Lehrstoffs der Vorlesung finden könnte.

Informatik III (M)

Dozentinnen/Dozenten
Prof. Dr. Robert M. Switzer, Dipl.-Math. Andreas Scholz

Angaben
Vorlesung mit Übung, 4 SWS
Zeit und Ort: Di, Fr 14:00 - 16:00, HS 1

Studienfächer / Studienrichtungen:
PM INF BSC ab 3
WP MAT DI ab 3
EV A ab 3

Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches
Diese Vorlesung richtet sich an drei Hörergruppen:
  • Studierende der Angewandten Informatik (Bachelor/Master); sie ist die dritte im Zyklus Informatik I bis IV.
  • Studierende mit Nebenfach Informatik.
  • Studierende der Wirtschaftsinformatik.

Inhalt
Inhaltlich ist sie weitgehend identisch mit der Vorlesung, die früher ``Datenstrukturen und effiziente Algorithmen'' hieß.

Wenn man Probleme mit dem Computer lösen will, braucht man eine Lösungsvorschrift, die keine Entscheidungsfreiräume läßt und nachweislich zu einer korrekten Lösung führt. So etwas nennt man einen Algorithmus. In dieser Vorlesung werden wir Algorithmen zur Lösung mehrerer Klassen von Problemen kennenlernen. Außerdem betrachten wir die geeigneten abstrakten Datentypen (ADTs), die diese Algorithmen unterstützen.
Aber nicht jeder Algorithmus ist brauchbar. Ein Algorithmus, der drei Jahre braucht, um ein Problem mittlerer Größe zu lösen oder mehr Hauptspeicher als selbst der größte Rechner hat, wird von keinem eingesetzt. Also müssen wir lernen, den Bedarf an Zeit und Raum (Hauptspeicher) unserer Algortithmen abzuschätzen oder zumindest, wie man zwei Algorithmen hinsichtlich ihres Bedarfs vergleicht, damit man den besseren wählen kann.

In dieser Vorlesung werden gute Eiffelkenntnisse vorausgesetzt. Wer die Vorlesung Informatik I bei mir gehört und die Übungen dazu mit Erfolg gelöst hat, verfügt über die erforderlichen Vorkenntnisse. Für jeden, der eine objekt-orientierte Programmiersprache beherrscht, ist Eiffel leicht zu erlernen. Wer am Anfang des Semesters die erforderlichen Eiffelkenntnisse noch nicht besitzt, kann sie in den ersten Semesterwochen mit der Hilfe seines Übungsleiters erlernen.

Praktische Informatik I (50045)

Dozent/in
Prof. Dr. Robert M. Switzer

Angaben
Vorlesung mit Übung, 4 SWS, Schein
Zeit und Ort: Di, Fr 11:15 - 13:00, HS 1
ab 9.4.2002

Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches
Die Vorlesung richtet sich an Studenten der Angewandten Informatik ab dem vierten Semester und setzt die Grundvorlesungen Informatik I bis III voraus.

Inhalt
Diese Vorlesung ist gewissermaßen eine ``Lückenbüßervorlesung'' nach dem Motto: alles, was der Informatiker wissen müßte, das jedoch in Informatik I bis III nicht vorkam. Das sind in diesem Fall zwei große Themenkomplexe:

1.Datenbanken
2.Computernetze

Jedem dieser Gebiete gebührte an sich eine einsemestrige Vorlesung. Aber in den sechs Semestern eines Bachelorstudiums kann man nicht alles unterbringen, das wünschenswert wäre. Darum dieser Notbehelf.


Wichtige Bemerkung: Selbst wenn eines dieser Themen in Ihrem Anwendungsfach behandelt wurde, könnte es lohnen, diese Vorlesung zu hören, denn hier werden ganz gewiß andere Schwerpunkte gesetzt.

C++ Techniques for Scientific Programming (50119)

Dozent/in
Dipl.-Math. Andreas Priesnitz

Angaben
Vorlesung, ECTS-Studium, ECTS-Credits: 3
Zeit und Ort: Mi 14:15 - 16:00, Max
ab 13.11.2002

Studienfächer / Studienrichtungen:
PF MAT D ab 3
WP INF BSC ab 3
WP INF MSC ab 3
PF PHY D ab 3

Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches
This lecture is directed towards students familiar with "plain" C++ (not necessarily with templates) or C and Java, the latter being a syntactically rather similar object-oriented programming language.

The language used in class will be English - or German, if all participants are fluent speakers (listeners).

Inhalt
Although object-oriented programming (OOP) over the last decade became the usual programming paradigm, it has been scarcely applied in a consequent manner for scientific programming. This is particularly due to the efficiency losses inherent in dynamic polymorphism. Object-oriented scientific software in many cases is mere "traditional" (here, C or FORTRAN 77) code wrapped in class definitions (usually C++), only partially exploiting the benefits of OOP.

Since 1995, the STL (C++ Standard Template Library) is the most prominent example of how to exploit the language construct of template classes/functions in several ways to allow static polymorphism without performance overhead, thus opening doors to numerous new approaches for solving classical problems, collectively called generic programming (GP).
In this lecture, a selection of such techniques for developing efficient object-oriented scientific (or other performance-critical) software will be presented:

  • Generic algorithms
  • Traits
  • Template meta-programming
  • Compile-time data structures
  • Expression templates
  • Functors and lambda functors
  • Mixin classes
  • Concept checking
  • Generative programming
  • ...

The focus will be less on in-depth technical discussions but on illustrating ideas and aims. Existing software will be referenced as example of both applicability and practical issues.

Empfohlene Literatur
  • RRZN-Handbücher C++ für C-Programmierer (German!) Highly recommended (and extraordinarily inexpensive!) introduction to (quite a bit more than) what is required to know about the language C++ for this lecture.

  • Links to both original literature on the presented techniques and complementary reading will be given on the lecture's WWW page: C++ 2002
