Course consists of tests during the year and a final exam, which are divided 50/50 in the final score. 50% of the class failed last year.

Two parts, recap of basics and more advanced stuff coming later.

Tools

Useful: Wolfram Alpha, Matlab

Will use Matlab in the course, can download it from FH. ChatGPT sucks at solving math problems correctly.

Probably important topics

• taking derivatives/antiderivatives
• partial fraction decomposition
• taylor series

Not important

• Memorizing vocabulary
• weird antiderivative tricks

Homework

Look at Taylor Series exercise 2.11

The Excel course consists of two parts:

1. E-learning Ilias Course

   • You can join under the course name in the Excel subdirectory.
   • Note: Do not submit results; just compare your work with the provided solutions.
   • Exam Date: 12th November
     • Bring your own PC (preferably Windows).
     • If you need an FH PC, you can request one via email.
     • The exam will be conducted using the program.

2. Video Presentation in January

   • More information will be provided during the in-person appointment on 16th October.
   • Room information will be available on Ilias or probably in the schedule.
   • Attendance will be taken.

• Capstone Project Introduced:

  • Topic: “Smart House: Simulation of Energy Supply and Consumption”
  • Group Formation:
    • Work in groups of 2-4 students.
    • You can adjust your group until the end of the week—contact the professor if needed.

• Project Guidelines:

  • Collaboration via GitHub:
    • All members must actively commit code; the professor will check commit histories.
  • Individual Screencasts:
    • Each member records a 7-minute screencast explaining their contribution.
  • Final Defense:
    • The project defense will be held in person at the Hochschule.
    • Each member will be evaluated individually.
