Department: Faculty 1 - Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Hartmann, Carsten
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Wunderlich, Ralf
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:
  • Aquirement of basic knowledge and skills in Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics
  • Qualifying for solving typical problems from engineering using statistical methods and for critical interpretation of results of statistical investigation
The lectures give theoretical fundamentals and explain them at typical examples from engineering.
Exercises aim to deepen this knowledge and to apply it at further typical situations. Homework sheets, to be solved independently, serve for further consolidation, deeepening and enhancement of lecture and exercise contents.
Contents:Introduction to fundamentals of probability theory and mathematical statistics:  
random variables and their distributions (discrete and continuous), limit theorems, laws of large number, point and interval estimations, significance tests (parametric as well as non-parametric for one or two samples), correlation and regression analysis
