The South Pole PC room is a service offered by the faculty to students and teaching staff. The room enables a targeted expansion of teaching content to include IT-related areas such as the use of online libraries, databases, software libraries and other information services. In addition, IT-related courses such as introductions to theoretical physics, numerical methods in plasma physics or object-oriented programming will be continued with significantly modernized equipment. Furthermore, the room is available to students for the creation of study-related documents and offers Internet access.
The design and implementation of the multimedia physics seminar room is the result of an initiative by H. Fichtner, G. Hornig, B. Neubacher (Institute of Theoretical Physics) together with U. Arendt and T. Cleve. The construction was financed by the Rectorate and the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy.
