This is for a course in German - Short explanation in English:

Mathematical Panorama is a two-hour overview course for First-Semester students of Mathematics (in particular, but not only, for teacher students) that presents the wide field of modern Mathematics - its history, its topics, its problems, its methods, some basic concepts, applications, etc.

This could be augmented by another two-hour course Mathematical Panorama II (next summer); both courses together count as the four-hour course Panorama of Mathematics (which is listed in some curricula at FU Berlin). There will also be a seminar in the summer term, where some topics connected to the course are treated actively (by the participants).
