NuMa: Normen berechnen

Eine Norm ist in der Mathematik ein Mittel, um die “Größe” verschiedener Objekte zu bemessen. Sie kennen dies wahrscheinlich bereits aus der Schule: dort haben Sie bereits die euklidische Norm verwendet, um die Länge eines Vektores zu bestimmen. In der Numerik ist die Norm ein essenzielles Werkzeug, das überall Verwendung findet.


NuMa: Kondition berechnen

Die Kondition ist ein zentraler Begriff in der Numerik. Die Kondition ist eine problembezogene und verfahrensunabhängige Größe. Sie wird also auf Funktionen angewendet. Die Kondition eines Problems beschreibt dessen Sentivität gegenüber Störung der Eingabedaten.


Communication Networks Basics

This post is aimed to summarize the lecture “Communication Networks” in the winter semester 2016/2017. As a basic lecture, it should give newcomers a fundamental understanding of how communication networks, such as the Internet work.

This work is currently on hold and will be continued at a later point in time.

Operating Systems Basics

This post is aimed to summarize the lecture “Operating Systems” in the winter semester 2016/2017. As a basic lecture, it should give newcomers a fundamental understanding of how modern operating systems work. The main sources are “Modern Operatings Systems” by Andrew Tanenbaum and “Betriebssysteme”, the script complementing the lecture given by Prof. Lankes (RWTH ACS).

The work on this article has been suspended indefinetly.

C Basics

Introducing C to beginners in a general sense is this post’s goal. Many other fashionable programming languages have a lot in common with C, such as they share the great deals of structure and syntax with C. Excerpting some headings from the post:

  • What is C?
  • Variables
  • Pointers
  • Operators
  • Control Structures
  • Arrays and Structs
  • Functions
  • Program Analysis

Programming Best Practices

For any given problem there are literally infinite possibilities to solve it. However, there are good solutions and terrible solutions to each problem. My objective here is to provide a few general techniques to improve any program or in a more general sense any solution. The article aims to be written in such a general manner, that the provided rules can also be applied in numerous other real-life situations completely unrelated to programming.

Disclaimer: perpetual work in progress and potentially prone to subjectivity

This post has a general nature, it is neither claiming to be complete nor to be applicable in every situation. Furthermore, it reflects my current conceptual understanding of programming and therefore is prone to errors and a perpetual work in progress. Enjoy!
