Lehrinhalte
In an interplay between multidisciplinary relevant mathematical contents and its reflection we convey the significance and functionality of mathematics as the common language of natural sciences.

Mathematical Contents:
[list]
[*]Numbers, in particular real numbers
[*]Continuity
[*]Some special functions
[*]Approximation and power series
[*]Logarithms, pH-values, bits, and entropy
[*]Probability
[*]Law of large numbers, limit theorems, and significance of data records
[*]Derivative and differential
[*]Modelling with differential equations
[*]Vector fields
[*]Linearity and superposition
[*]Many dimensions
[/list]

Mathematical Reflections:
[list]
[*]All is number: blessing and curse of quantifying
[*]On the use of formulas: What you put into it and what you get out.
[*]Mathematical models of reality: capabilities and limitations
[*]On the truth of mathematics
[*]Historical remarks on mathematics as a language for natural sciences
[*]Mathematics is a very special language: Axioms, definitions, and proofs inside and outside of mathematics
[*]The abstractness of mathematics as a condition for its universal applicability
[/list]

Depending on the target group, the support classes address students of mathematics, concentrating, amongst other things, on specialist aspects of mathematics; students who do not study mathematics are tutored in the fundamentals of handling mathematical language in its stead.
