Applied Mathematics
Module 5: Reflection I on Diversity in Culture (History and Philosophy of Mathematical Reasoning)
In this Q1 module students in Applied Mathematics and Applied Physics together build an electromagnetic experiment. As a part of this, they learn to reflect systematically and critically on the significance of this experiment for the development of knowledge about electromagnetism and the relationship between physical concepts, phenomena, and mathematical analysis.
Modules 11 &13: Reflection on Mathematical Research I & II
In module 11 (Q3) students are taught the basic principles of the philosophy of science and do an epistemic analysis of a research paper.
In module 13 (Q4) they write a structured reflection on their bachelor thesis.
