Lecture 1. Numerical Methods
Wolfram Schmidt, Universität Hamburg
Abstract: Numerical methods are essential to solve many problems in physics. Even relatively simple models quite often do not permit analytic solutions. This is even more true for questions in current research. I will introduce basic algorithms, such as root finding, numerical integration and derivates, and solving differential equations. We will implement some of these algorithms together in Python. In addition, we will make use of the very rich ecosystem of Python libraries. In hands-on sessions, you will have the opportunity to further explore and apply these tools.

Lecture 2. Statistical Methods and Data Analysis
Hartmut Stadie, Universität Hamburg
Abstract: The second part will start with an introduction on probabilities and
statistics. The main focus is then on methods to estimate parameters and
their uncertainties from data.
