The aim of this course is threefold: (1) to rehearse the fundamental mathematics knowledge for starting academic engineering studies;
(2) to make clear what is the expected mathematics level in academic engineering studies; (3) to establish a uniform starting level
for all students.

The main aim is to teach the student how to reason in a critical, logical and structured
way, on the appropriate level of abstraction, while paying attention also to
completeness and precision.

Content:
In-depth study of different concepts from the complex analysis.
The student will get familiar with the complex plane, holomorphic functions and complex integration, and
their special properties, as well as with some of the more advanced topics in complex analysis.
Lecturer: Sigiswald Barbier

Content:
In-depth study of basic concepts from linear algebra to provide a sound basis for a number of
courses of the bachelor and master in engineering/option physics.
The fundamental concepts of the operator and spectral theory will be explained and
applied to diverse problems.

The intention of this course is to teach the students the basic principles and the reasoning methods of probability
theory. Furthermore, we want to familiarise them with the most commonly used probabilistic and statistical techniques,
and the ideas behind them. Finally, we teach them how to apply probabilistic and statistical methods using pen-and-paper
methods and in Python.

The course gives an overview of the principles and modern approaches in artificial intelligence.
The focus is on intelligent agents, reasoning under uncertainty, and making rational decisions. It covers the following topics: knowledge representation,
reasoning under uncertainty, Bayesian networks, Hidden Markov Models, belief propagation, deep learning, rational agents and rational decisions as well as
visual intelligence.
