The lack of perceived relevance of mathematical content in science degree programs is often cited in the literature as a possible reason for dropping out of university. The investigation of reasons and motivations for increasing this perception of relevance and the identification of successful strategies is the aim our research project. In the course of the QUEST project, initial strategies and their effect are to be investigated using the Fundamentals of Numerics course with the help of new tasks and application examples. In particular, the relevance of the course for the future profession for Mathematics B. Ed. and B.Sc. will be addressed.

The task is to carry out and analyze an evaluation of the perceived relevance.

Programming skills are helpful, but not essential.
