Module MAT-14-14L-M-3

Mathematics as Solution Potential B: Introduction to Stochastics (Gym, RS) (M, 8.0 LP)

Module Identification

Module Number Module Name CP (Effort)
MAT-14-14L-M-3 Mathematics as Solution Potential B: Introduction to Stochastics (Gym, RS) 8.0 CP (240 h)
MAT-14-14L_ERW-M-3 Mathematics as Solution Potential B: Introduction to Stochastics 12.0 CP (360 h)
Hint concerning Module Number MAT-14-14L_ERW-M-3:
Due to previous knowledge from the modules [MAT-20-00-M-2] and [MAT-10-12L-M-2] (or [MAT-10-11-M-2]) that has to be acquired in self-study, students who study mathematics in the "Zertifikatsstudiengang Erweiterungsprüfung" receive 12 LP for this module.

Contents

Introduction to Stochastics.

Fundamentals of probability theory:

  • basic concepts of probability theory (probability space, random variable, distribution);
  • distribution of real-valued random variables (binomial, Poisson, exponential and normal distribution, etc.);
  • expected value, variance, covariance;
  • distribution of random vectors, multivariate normal distribution as an example;
  • conditional probability, independence;
  • law of large numbers;
  • Monte Carlo simulation;
  • central limit value theorem.

Fundamental of statistics:

  • parameter estimator;
  • interval estimator;
  • tests.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

The students
  • are familiar with stochastic concepts, the fundamental concepts of probability theory and statistics;
  • can apply stochastic methods to simple practical problems
  • can recognise and take into account problems that arise when numerical methods are realised on the computer.
