This is where some of the more useful things concerning my studies will be uploaded. Expect more German texts than anywhere else on my website. You have been warned.
Ich studiere Mathematik in Heidelberg. Hier sind einige interessante Dinge zu finden, die sich im Laufe der Semester angehäuft haben.
Papers, talks, and written assignments
- I have analyzed and implemented some heuristics for the bin packing problem.
- I gave a presentation about Binary Space Partitioning Trees. Source code for a demo program is also included.
- Aus historischen Gründen gibt es hier auch noch ein paar Übungsblatter für die Vorlesung Numerik 0
Software practicals
It is customary for math students with a minor in computer science to work on a bigger project that requires, among others, programming skills. At the time of me writing this, I have successfully completed two projects:
Eukalyptos
Eukalyptos is a remote control application for Lego
Mindstorms robots. For this project, I worked with
Carlos and Lutz. We
had lots of fun and got tons of experience points, which we all spent on
our C/C++ skills. See for yourself and visit the homepage of our
project.
r++ and devrpp
r++ and devrpp are free, platform-independent
replacements for the roboBASIC IDE.
Lutz and I created a compiler and a GUI
application that allow users to program the Hitec
Robonova robot. We hope that these
programs become useful for the community of robot programmers. More
information is available on our project
homepage
(in English, although some documents are offered only in German).
Files for surf
For a course that treated, among other things, conic sections (and quadrics), I played around with surfsurf. Here are some of the very meagre results.
These files do not even touch any of the more advanced possibilities of surf. And frankly, they are not really cool. If you want the real stuff, visit a fellow student's website . You will find some nice animated gifs if you take a look at the links in the section titled "Ein paar Animationen".
Programs
Some instructive programs:
- comphom, a program to compute homology groups.
- OpenGL/GLUT programs which might prove interesting for beginners in graphics programming.
