Lecturer
Ernst Stadlober
Johannes Moritz Jirak

Compulsory course of Computer Science,
Software Development-Economy

Aims and objectives
After successful completion of the course, the students are able to work with simple statistical problems. They can do graphical and numerical representations of data. They know methods based on normal assumptions and they are in the position to apply adequate methods to practical problems. They have the knowledge to interpret the outcomes.

Teaching method
The presentation is problem-oriented and motivated by practical examples. Assignments are given which should be worked out independently and presented in the lecture.

Pre-requisites
Calculus T1.
