Mathematics & Statistics

Mathematics and Statistics

Depending on the discipline and ZEF department, certain knowledge is a prerequisite to participate successfully in the ZEFb and ZEFc courses.

A seminar in November will inform the students, which knowledge is expected; we will guide the students on how to refresh their knowledge in Mathematics and Statistics (compulsory for ZEFb and ZEFc students). Advanced topics may be tutored or lectured on demand.
