Requirements Knowledge of school mathematics to achieve university entrance as well as logical thinking.
Language German
Separate final exam Yes
Literature

Final exam
Details
The exam sets tasks from the area of linear algebra and analysis of one variable, which shall be solved without tools (or if necessary with a given collection of formulas). On the one hand, the correctness of the approach, respectively the solution, is evaluated. It also assesses the extent to which symbolic and formal mathematical language is used correctly.
In order to take part in the summary examination at the end (written exam), students must first prove that they have satisfactorily completed the exercises, which are usually held on a weekly basis.
Minimum standard
Students
- Show that they understand simple mathematical statements and can comprehend simple given proofs
- Can explain and apply the most important concepts of LA and AN
- Can solve simple tasks of known type from the field of LA and AN without electronic aids. The written representation of the solution and the way to solve it is done in the formal language of mathematics and uses the correct mathematical symbols.
