Modellierung I
Instructors: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Michael WandShortname: 08.079.314
Course No.: 08.079.314
Course Type: Vorlesung/Übung
Requirements / organisational issues
Requirements:- Basic Mathematics: Core mathematics lectures Calculus 1, Linear Algebra 1 ("for mathematicians"), basic probability theory. Mathematics for Physisists is also well-suited.
- Good programming skills („Einführung in die Programmierung“, „Einführung in die Softwareentwicklung“, „Datenstrukturen und Algorithmen“ or equivalent).
Useful:
- C++ knowledge: Tutorials will use C++ (other languages are permitted but this might require some additional effort).
- Basics of computer graphics are useful, but not required (plan for a bit of extra time, in case).
Digital teaching
The course will be offered in a digital format involving prerecorded lecture videos and live tutorials.Further details will be published in the "JGU-Reader": https://reader.uni-mainz.de/
All Info will be made available on or before Friday, April 17 2020 (including an email to all participants via "reader-messages").
Recommended reading list
Will be announced in the lecture.Contents
The lecture discusses basic concepts of how to model real-world phenomena with a computer. The goal is to give an overview of basic mathematical and theoretical tools for modeling, and (in particular) to bring these concepts into practical implementation and application.Modeling of real-world phenomena poses a number of questions:
- Representation: Which information is constitutes the state of the modeled phenomenon?
- Rules/dynamics: How does the phenomenon evolve/behave over time / space?
- Simulation: How can we simulate it?
- Inverse problems: Can we adjust the model parameter such that the simulation explains real-world measurement data?
- Variational modeling and optimization: How can we model problems implicitly through the use of objective functions and constraints?
Bottom Line: Modeling 1 = Linear Modelling
Modelling 1 focusses on linear models (model state is a vector in a linear space). It will discuss representations and sampling issues, and show a number of practical examples (such as global illumination or dynamics of objects). For optimization and inverse problems, we consider simple quadratic variational formulations that can be solved with the nice & easy to use linear algebra tools.
Non-linear and statistical methods are discussed in a subsequent lecture.
Remark: The format in 2020 is the traditional 2h-lecture, 2h-tutorials (V2Ü2) again; the V2Ü2P2-Format from 2019 will be discontinued.
