OMB+ online preparatory course in mathematics for physics students (taught in German)
Physics is closely related to mathematics, a field that provides one of the most important tools for physicists. Without sufficient knowledge of methodologies and mathematical rules, you will have great difficulty understanding the physics lectures. We run preparatory courses in mathematics so you can re-activate your school knowledge, reach the same level as your fellow students and close potential gaps before the lectures start. In the comfort of your own four walls you can brush up your knowledge and study individual topics more closely in the joint online preparatory course organised by the physics departments of German universities. You have a large number of learning material and constantly available online tutors at your disposal. We definitely recommend this course. You'll see, it's worth it!
