The lecture gives an introduction to elementary geometry in Euclidian and non-Euclidian space and its mathematical foundations. We get to know Euclidean, hyperbolic, and projective geometry as examples of incidence geometries, and study their symmetry groups.
The next main topic is the axiomatic characterization of the Euclidean plane. The focus is on the story of the fifth Euclidian axiom (and the attempts to get rid of it).

Numerics is a discipline of mathematics that deals with the practical solution of mathematical problems. As a rule, problems are not precisely solved but approximated, for which a sensible compromise of accuracy and computing effort has to be found. In the second part of the two -semester course, questions of the analysis such as the approximation of functions by polynomials, the approximately solution of non -linear equations and the practical calculation of integrals are treated. Attendance at the accompanying computer exercise sessions is recommended. These take place fortnightly, alternating with the tutorial for the lecture.

After gaining an insight into the basics and various methods and questions of stochastics and probability theory in the Stochastics I lecture, this lecture will mainly focus on statistical topics, especially those that are relevant for students studying to become secondary school teachers. However, the lecture can also be a (hopefully) useful supplement and a good basis for later attendance of the course lecture ‘Mathematical Statistics’ for students in the B.Sc. in Mathematics with an interest in stochastics.
After clarifying the term ‘statistical model’, methods for constructing estimators (e.g. maximum likelihood principle, method of moments) and quality criteria for these (reliability of expectations, consistency) are discussed. Confidence intervals and hypothesis tests are also introduced. Linear models are considered as further applications and, if time permits, other statistical methods. The properties of exponential families and multivariate normal distributions, which are useful for many test and estimation methods, are also introduced.

Linear functional analysis, which is the subject of the lecture, uses concepts of linear algebra such as vector space, linear operator, dual space, scalar product, adjoint map, eigenvalue, spectrum to solve equations in infinite-dimensional function spaces, especially linear differential equations. The algebraic concepts have to be extended by topological concepts such as convergence, completeness and compactness.
This approach was developed at the beginning of the 20th century by Hilbert, among others, and is now part of the methodological foundation of analysis, numerics and mathematical physics, in particular quantum mechanics, and is also indispensable in other mathematical areas.

In linear algebra you studied linear systems of equations. In commutative algebra, we study polynomial equation systems such as \(x^2+y^2 = \) 1 and their solution sets, the algebraic varieties. It will turn out that such a variety is closely related to the ring of the restrictions of polynomial functions on that variety, and that we can extrapolate this relationship to a geometric understanding of any commutative rings, in particular the ring of the integers. Commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, and number theory grow together in this conceptual building. The lecture aims to introduce into this conceptual world. We will especially focus on the dimension of algebraic varieties and their cutting behavior, which generalizes the phenomena known from the linear algebra on the case of polynomial equation systems.

This introductory course in mathematical logic consists of several parts. It the basics of predicate logic and a brief introduction to model theory and the axiom system as well as the axiom system of set theory. The aim of the lecture is to explain the recursion-theoretical content of the predicate calculus, in particular the so-called Peano-arithmetic and Gödel's incompleteness theorems.

The problem of axiomatising probability theory was solved by Kolmogorov in 1933: a probability is a measure of the set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment. From this starting point, the entire modern theory of probability develops with numerous references to current applications.
The lecture is a systematic introduction to this area based on measure theory and includes, among other things, the central limit theorem in the Lindeberg-Feller version, conditional expectations and regular versions, martingales and martingale convergence theorems, the strong law of large numbers and the ergodic theorem as well as Brownian motion.

This lecture builds the foundation of one of the key areas of probability theory: stochastic analysis. We start with a rigorous construction of the It^o integral that integrates against a Brownian motion (or, more generally, a continuous local martingale). In this connection, we learn about It^o's celebrated formula, Girsanov’s theorem, representation theorems for continuous local martingales and about the exciting theory of local times. Then, we discuss the relation of Brownian motion and Dirichlet problems. In the final part of the lecture, we study stochastic differential equations, which provide a rich class of stochastic models that are of interest in many areas of applied probability theory, such as mathematical finance, physics or biology. We discuss the main existence and uniqueness results, the connection to the martingale problem of Stroock-Varadhan and the important Yamada-Watanabe theory.

A topological space consists of a basic set \(X\) and a family of open subsets of the basic set, which is called topology on \(X\). Examples over the basic sets \(\mathbb R\) and \({\mathbb R}^n\) are given in the analysis lectures. The mathematical subject \glqq{}Topology\grqq\ is the study of topological spaces and the investigation of topological spaces. Our lecture is an introduction to set-theoretic and algebraic topology.

In a reading course, the material of a four-hour lecture is studied in supervised self-study. In rare cases, this may take place as part of a course; however, reading courses are not usually listed in the course catalog. If you are interested, please contact a professor or a private lecturer before the start of the course; typically, this will be the supervisor of your Master's thesis, as the reading course ideally serves as preparation for the Master's thesis (both in the M.Sc. and the M.Ed. programs).
The content of the reading course, the specific details, and the coursework requirements will be determined by the supervisor at the beginning of the lecture period. The workload should be equivalent to that of a four-hour lecture with exercises.

As a high school student, you have no idea what it means to study mathematics. While studying mathematics at the university, the imagination of what it means to teach mathematics at school is similarly vague . This seminar would like to provide concrete insights into the practice of math teaching and tries to build on experiences e.g. B. from the practical semester.
Selected contents and aspects of mathematics lessons (from worksheet to the extension of number systems) are analyzed and questioned – not only from the point of view of the scientist, but also from the point of view of the lecturers, teachers, pupils. Mathematically simple topics often hide unexpected didactic challenges. Therefore, in addition to dealing with existing content and framework conditions, teaching should also be planned and – if possible – carried out at the school.

The three related courses of the module prepare students for an empirical Master thesis in mathematics didactics. The course is jointly designed by all professors at the PH with mathematics didactics research projects at secondary levels 1 and 2 and is carried out by one of these researchers. Afterwards, students have the opportunity to start Master thesis with one of these supervisors - usually integrated into larger ongoing research projects.
The first course of the module provides an introduction to strategies of empirical didactic research (research questions, research status, research designs). Students deepen their skills in scientific research and the evaluation of subject-specific didactic research. In the second course (in the last third of the semester) students are introduced to central qualitative and quantitative research methods through concrete work with existing data (interviews, student products, experimental data), students are introduced to central qualitative and quantitative research methods. The third course is an accompanying seminar for the Master thesis.
The main objectives of the module are the ability to receive mathematics didactic research in order to didactic research to clarify questions of practical relevance and to plan an empirical mathematics didactics Master thesis. It will be held as a mixture of seminar, development of research topics in groups and active work with research data. Recommended literature will be depending on the research topics offered within the respective courses. The parts can also be attended in different semesters, for example part~1 in the second Master semester and part~2 in the compact phase of the third Master semester after the practical semester.

To answer complex biomedical questions from large amounts of data, a wide range of analysis tools is often necessary, e.g. deep learning or general machine learning techniques, which is often summarized under the term ``Medical Data Science''. Statistical approaches play an important rôle as the basis for this. A selection of approaches is to be presented in the seminar lectures that are based on recent original work. The exact thematic orientation is still to be determined.
Good knowledge of probability theory and mathematical statistics.

Imagine being able to use routine data such as diagnoses, lab results, and medication plans to answer medical questions in innovative ways and improve patient care. In this seminar, we will learn to identify relevant data, understand suitable analysis methods, and what to consider when applying them in practice. Together, we will analyze scientific studies on routine data and discuss clinical questions, the methods used, and their feasibility for implementation.
What makes this seminar special: Medical and mathematics students collaborate to understand scientific studies from both perspectives. When possible, you will work in pairs (or individually if no pair can be formed) to analyze a study from your respective viewpoints and prepare related presentations. You may test available programming code or develop your own approaches to replicate the methods and apply them to your own questions. The pairs can be formed during the preliminary meeting.
