M 1: Of futuristic interchanges

Event content

The lecture revolves around the concept of permutation. After working out some basics, we will look at a mathematical theorem that was developed by the makers of the TV series "Futurama" and incorporated into the script of an episode. The resulting episode of the series is not only very entertaining, but also mathematically interesting!

M 3: The brachistochrone problem

Event content

How must a curve be shaped to allow a ring to slide from a point A and a point B further down in the shortest possible time under the influence of gravity? If points A and B are directly below each other, the solution seems obvious. However, if the points are not only vertically but also horizontally offset, the problem - the brachistochrone problem - is much more difficult and has occupied mathematicians since the beginning of differential and integral calculus. In the lecture we will describe the brachistochrone problem mathematically, trace its historical development and derive its solution.

M 9: On the impossibility of squaring the circle

Event content

One of the classic construction tasks of antiquity is the task of constructing a square with the same area as a given circle with radius 1 using a compass and ruler. From antiquity to modern times, mankind has not succeeded in finding a corresponding construction rule. Towards the end of the 19th century, i.e. more than 2000 years after finding the problem, the solution came: It cannot work because pi is transcendent! In the lecture, the basic questions are explained, and it is explained why the mentioned property of pi leads to the impossibility proof. Finally, it will be outlined why pi is indeed transcendent.

M10: About artificial intelligence and how to make fun of it

Event content

Neural networks, deep learning, artificial intelligences, big data and data science are buzzwords that you currently come across at every turn, and conversely, society and science can no longer be imagined without them. In this lecture, we want to take a look at the field of AI and machine learning (how does an artificial intelligence actually learn?). We will take a look at the history of these (seemingly) modern tools, their advantages and disadvantages, the structure of a neural network and the simplest form of such a network, the perceptron. Especially for the parade discipline of neural networks, image recognition or classification, we will then be able to calculate quite explicitly and simply how, by minimally changing a few pixels, we can fool the trained neural network into thinking that a reliably recognised "U" is a reliably recognised "X".

G 2: Geoecology - solutions in the climate and biodiversity crisis

Event content

The chain of climate crisis, environmental pollution and species extinction poses great challenges for us humans. Overcoming these challenges requires a variety of small and large measures. The problems are usually very complex, so that simple, technical strategies alone are not enough. With geoecology, we offer a degree programme in which we develop competencies for coping with current and future environmental problems. This is based on a variety of scientific principles and ranges from processes of the Earth system to the most modern methods of data analysis. In the course we look at examples of current research projects to show what you can study in geoecology and what you can do with it.

Details

• Suitable for: GK or LK Natural Sciences and Geography (secondary level 2)
• From grade 11

The observation and registration of elastic waves triggered or artificially generated by earthquakes reveals a lot about the structure of our Earth. Earthquake waves "collect" a lot of information on their way from the place of origin to the observation point, which has to be deciphered from the registration. On our doorstep, in central Germany, we can observe swarm quakes in the Vogtland region and quakes triggered by human activity in mining areas. In addition, earthquakes whose foci are very far away can also be recorded here. The localisation of the focal point and the further evaluation are carried out, among other things, with the help of an automatically working software, which will be demonstrated in the context of a lecture.

G 19: Die Bedeutung von Rohstoffen für unser Leben

Event content

Our modern life with mobile phones, the internet, computers, the energy transition, etc. is inconceivable without raw materials. Surprisingly, many people are not even aware of this. On the contrary: raw material extraction is often seen as harmful to the environment. The demonstrations of the Fridays for Future movement are also directly directed against the raw materials industry and demand its abolition. We are against wind turbines, open-cast lignite mines and power plants, nuclear power plants, petrol cars, geothermal energy, etc., but of course we want to have mobility, heating, electricity, internet, etc. available around the clock.

How does that fit together? And what does this mean for the education of our prospective students?

The event will feature a keynote speech, followed by a (hopefully controversial!) discussion on the topic.

I 2: Copper - a metal that seduces (processes for extracting and purifying metals)

Without copper, no electricity flows and neither computers nor smartphones work. Along with silver and gold, it has very good electrical conductivity, but is not as expensive. But how does copper become so electrically conductive? In the lecture, copper is used as an example to explain processes for extracting and purifying metals. The focus is on electrolysis. The newly acquired knowledge can be applied immediately in the subsequent practical course.

I 3: Energy transition? Copper makes it possible

The demands for greater environmental awareness, the use of renewable energies and rethinking in terms of the circular economy and the zero waste concept pose challenges for the economy. In research, there are already alternatives that make manufacturing processes much more effective through recycling possibilities and a reuse of supposed waste products. Copper plays an important role here, because we are surrounded by copper and the demand is huge. Without copper, there would be no mobile phones, no e-cars or other environmentally friendly alternatives.

I 4: The periodic table in your pocket: Are metals in mobile phones recyclable?

Almost everyone has one, but hardly anyone knows what happens to their daily companion when it has had its day. Does the broken or outdated mobile phone go into the dustbin or gather dust in some drawer? The best option: neither! Because the various components in mobile phones are valuable for the circular economy and can be reused. But what is a mobile phone made of? And what of it can be recycled? How far has research gone to breathe new life into our worn-out mobile phone?

It is widely known that modern mobile phones contain a multitude of sensors. However, only very few people know how these sensors work. In this lecture, selected sensors found in today's mobile phones will be presented, their manufacture and functioning explained and their possible applications illustrated. In particular, sensors for measuring accelerations, magnetic fields, temperatures, sound and pressures will be considered. Finally, an outlook is given on which sensors we can expect in mobile phones in the future.

Those who want to explore the university individually and are particularly interested in a degree programme such as business administration or industrial archaeology can do so with the help of our tutor programme. Typical events such as lectures and exercises can be attended, and even participation in excursions is possible. A tutor is not only there to assist during the actual visit to our university, but also helps to put together a suitable timetable. The duration of the visit depends entirely on personal wishes and interests and can range from one day to a week.

In addition to individual taster visits, it is of course also possible to get an impression of how business studies works in a group. For this purpose, the members of the departmental teams offer events on a wide variety of topics. How and where this takes place, e.g. whether it should be an event at the university or at school, can be agreed upon in individual cases. At the moment, this programme is being redesigned. So in addition to the two events below, there will soon be more. And if a topic that interests you is missing, please ask at the Dean's Office (see above) - often something can be found.
