ADDITIONAL STUDY ABROAD
IU, GERMANY MODULES
Advanced Mathematics
The course reviews differentiation and integration and then discusses partial differentiation,
differentiation, vector algebra and vector calculus. Matrix calculation and vector spaces are
fundamental to many modern data processing algorithms and are discussed in detail.
Module Contents
• Calculus
• Integral transformations
• Vector algebra
• Vector calculus
• Matrices and vector spaces
• Information theory
Seminar: Data Science and Society
In this module, students will reflect on current societal and political implications of the application
of data science models. To this end, pertinent topics will be introduced via articles that are then
critically evaluated by the students in the form of a written essay.
Use Case and Evaluation
The evaluation and definition of use cases is the fundamental groundwork from which the projects
can be defined. This does not only include the scope and technical requirements of a project but
also how value can be derived from the project. A crucial aspect is the definition of what makes a
project successful, both in terms of a technical evaluation as well as a business centric perspective
and how the status quo can be monitored effectively during the progress of a project. The course
also discusses how to avoid common fallacies and understand the implications of introducing
data-driven decisions into traditional management structures.
Module Contents
• Use case evaluation
• Model-centric evaluation
• Business-centric evaluation
• Monitoring
• Avoiding common fallacies
• Change management
30
Project: Data Science Use Case
In this course, students choose a project task in accord with their tutor from a variety of options.
The goal is to prototypically implement a data science model or system in a suitable development
environment. The choice of approach, the system or software implemented, and the resulting
performance on the task are to be reasoned about, explained, and documented in a project report.
To this end, students make practical use of the methodological knowledge acquired in previous
courses by applying them to relevant real-world problems.
Advanced Statistics
After defining and introducing the fundamental concepts of statistics, the course will cover
important probability distributions and their prevalence in application scenarios; discuss
descriptive techniques to summarize and visualize data effectively; and discuss the Bayesian
approach to statistics.Estimating parameters is a key ingredient in optimizing data models, and the
course will give a thorough overview of the most important techniques.
Module Contents
• Introduction to statistics
• Important probability distributions and their applications
• Bayesian statistics
• Descriptive statistics
• Data visualization
• Parameter estimation
• Hypothesis tests
