> There are two origins of CS in German universities: electrical engineering and maths.

Ah, I see, thanks for the information.

Which university would be an example for the latter?




Karlsruhe Institute for Technology is an example. Analysis 1+2 and Linear Algebra 1+2 is compulsory for every CS student (the exams are practically identical, just missing a single topic. You can always switch to the math lectures and get a few ECTS more). This is a great background for more advanced, theoretical lectures (CS+Math) but it's lacking electrical engineering lectures and especially there's no electrical engineering practice.


Seriously, which German university (not "FH") doesn't teach analysis and linear algebra in the first terms? I am really wondering.


TU Ilmenau has Analysis and Linear Algebra but that is only heard by mathematicians. There is a different class called "Math for engineers" which mechanics students, computer science students, ... hear which has different tests and a different focus but still teaches solving linear ODEs and stuff.
