Back to Viktor Jirsa's homepage....This intensive course has been held at the Center for Complex Systems & Brain Sciences since the year 2000 and is intended to provide students with the prerequisites - some conceptual background and sufficient working knowledge of mathematics - necessary to master mathematically based graduate courses in non-mathematical Masters and PhD programmes. By no means it is intended to compete with the traditional introductory courses in mathematics taught at universities. Rather it has to be viewed as a synopsis of the mathematical tools most probably encountered in scientific applications. The companion script shall serve as a companion during the boot camp and as a quick reference and look-up source after the boot camp.
