Learning Outcome
After successful completion of this module students are able to handle basic axiomatic structures, to understand and to use the corresponding terminology and to connect the structures with graphical depiction.
Students will have obtained first experience in abstract formalization and gained basic skills in exact reasoning. They will have learned the basic structures of linear algebra and discrete mathematics and know how to handle them. They have the ability to translate between algebra and matrix calculus.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
The module examination is based on a written exam (90 minutes). Students have to deal with basic structures of linear algebra and discrete mathematics and calculate them. They are able to abstract and argue precisely under time pressure.
Exam Repetition
The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.
