Elements of Mathematics (MAT)

Welcome to the supporting website for the Elements of Mathematics course of the Master in Bioinformatics for Health Sciences.

Fall 2024-2025

{% assign sorted = site.posts | sort: 'date' %}

Content

Each session has its own page including a detailed syllabus and additional content to watch/read.

Sessions will have a duration of ~2h with a break between 1st and 2nd hour. To make the most out of each session it would be beneficial that the students have a look at the web content of each session before the session takes place.

Aim

The sessions will serve several purposes:

  1. Present fundamental concepts: definitions, examples and main theoretical results
  2. Solving exercises
  3. Q&A
  4. Do hands-on tutorials

Evaluation

Evaluation will have two components:

  1. Integrative work -- at most 30% of the grade
  2. Final test -- at least 70% of the grade
