PhD: To Change The World with Mathematics
Read here a post in 'inside/out' about Samineh Bagheri, PhD student and research staff member in my group (sorry, in German only!)
Learning Opportunity for Refugees
There is a new teaching activity at Campus Gummersbach, which offers refugees some orientation and preperatory input for possible later studies at a German university. At the same time it is the aim to strengthen the language competence of the refugees. The learning opportunity comprises the areas of computer science, economics and mathematics and is…
New Combinatorics e-Learning Framework
There is a new combinatorics e-learning framework available at www.gm.fh-koeln.de/kombinatorik/en. This tool allows you to strenghen your combinatorics competence with a set of quiz questions. The combinatorics framework was developed by a student group under my supervision. We made a German and an English version, to facilitate the use of this e-learning framework for our…
