Objective
A student acquires the understanding of statistical phenomena. (S)he also learns to handle and analyze data and master related more advanced mathematics. A student with a successful completion of the course obtains knowledge that may help her/him to apply for master programs.
On completion of this course the student:
• understands the significance of statistical phenomena in natural sciences and technology
• has the big picture of the most important mathematics and mathematical methods related to probability, statistics and data analysis
• understands the basic phenomena of solid-state physics and their impact and the effect of entropy in physical phenomena and procedures applying statistical theories
• is able to analyze and solve essential physical problems
• masters the software used in the course
• understands the contents of related scientific and technical articles
Content
• Probability and statistical mathematics
