assessment: midterm grade Course description: Goal: The goal of the course is to give an introduction to MATLAB and to familiarize the students with the most important concepts, relations and trends in information systems. Moreover, it stimulates the students ’ overall interest in informatics. Course description: The first objective is to familiarize the students with the MATLAB engineering software and to acquire skill in using it from hands-on practice. Simple solutions will be highlighted, which provide an opportunity for students to deepen their knowledge in mathematics as well as to gain the knowledge needed to solve mathematical problems in future courses as well. Practice topics: function-representation, function approximation, graphical display of computational errors and overflows; digitalization and sampling procedures and their graphical representation; compression functions and their representations; signal filtering (mean, median, sliding window screening). During two-thirds of the semester, the most important concepts of informatics are presente
