This course provides a comprehensive introduction to mathematical modeling. We will learn the systematic process of translating real-world problems into mathematical frameworks, analyzing them using appropriate mathematical tools, and interpreting the results in practical contexts. The course covers both discrete and continuous modeling approaches, with emphasis on differential equations, variational problems, and optimization techniques. Through case studies in physics, biology, engineering, and economics, students will develop skills in model formulation, validation, and refinement. Special attention is given to dimensional analysis, stability theory, and numerical methods necessary for implementing solutions with a focus on numerical methods for ordinary differential equations. The course combines theoretical foundations with hands-on experience in computational tools for model simulation and analysis.

Complex analysis deals with functions \(f : \mathbb C \to \mathbb C\) , which map complex numbers to complex numbers. Many concepts of Analysis~I can be directly transferred to this case, e.\,g. the definition of differentiability. One might expect that this would lead to a theory analogous to Analysis~I but much more is true: in many respects you get a more elegant and simpler theory. For example, complex differentiability on an open set implies that a function is even infinitely often differentiable, and this is further consistent with analyticity. For real functions, all these notions are different. However, some new ideas are also necessary: For real numbers \(a\), \(b\) one integrates for \[\int_a^b f(x) \mathrm dx\] over the elements of the interval \([a, b]\) or \([b, a]\). However, if \(a\), \(b\) are complex numbers, it is no longer so clear clear how such an integral is to be calculated. One could, for example, in the complex numbers along the line that connects \(a, b \in \mathbb C\), or along another curve that leads from \(a\) to \(b\). Does this lead to a well-defined integral term or does such a curve integral depend on the choice of the curve?
