326.007, PS Formales Modellieren, Carsten Schneider / Wolfgang Schreiner / Wolfgang Windsteiger, 2025W

326.007, Wednesday, 17:15-18:45, Room: S2 054, Start: October 8, 2025
We discuss the formal modeling of mathematical problems that are amenable to algorithms and software from symbolic computation; the models are based on the language of algebra and logic. In the accompanying lecture we present examples from various application domains. In this proseminar students are expected to model selected problems and demonstrate their results in the form of small papers and presentations.
-
Every student chooses a formal modeling topic that (s)he elaborates. Grading is based on a short paper and a presentation. It is also possible to choose a topic and elaborate it as a bachelor thesis. In addition we will discuss the practice of mathematical research.

Some general remarks:
- Every author has her/his own style and preferences how to write an article.
- The structure strongly depends on the topic/message of the article.
=> There is no final word how one should write a mathematical article...
In the prepared slides the following aspects are elaborated:- The general form using latex (with the LNCS-style)
- How to write the mathematical content (just math!)
- Presenting the main content (with explanations)
- General/personal hints/tips
The following files (popping up in the slides) might be useful to start writing your own article:
