Advanced Mathematics – Differential Equations, Taylor Expansion and Integral Transforms

The introductory microcredential "Advanced Mathematics – Differential Equations, Taylor Expansion, and Integral Transforms " provides students with in-depth knowledge of differential equations, Taylor Expansion, and integral transforms, and helps them transition into part-time academic studies or from a university of applied sciences to a university. Upon completion of the course, students will have an overview of the theory of Taylor expansions and series, integral transforms, and integral calculus. Furthermore, students will be able to characterize given differential equations and solve them in special cases. This foundational module enables participants to attend more advanced mathematics-oriented courses.

This course is suitable as an introduction to the following master's programs:

  • Artificial Intelligence for Connected Industries, M.Sc.
  • Computational Science and Engineering, M.Sc.
  • Sensorsystemtechnik (Sensor Systems Engineering), M.Sc.

The certificate course materials are written in German and English. The language of instruction is German or English, depending on the language requirements of the participants.

Participants who pass the final exam will receive a certificate and a supplement describing the course content and the skills acquired. The exam will be graded. The certificate includes 3 ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer System) for the course "Fundamentals of Mathematics." Accordingly, participants should expect a workload of approximately 90 hours for self-study, mentoring, participation in the attendance session, exam preparation, and completion.
