**TL;DR**:
This document targets a practical and comprehensive introduction to the latest concepts
for combining physical simulations with deep learning.
As much as possible, the algorithms will come with hands-on code examples to quickly get started.
This document targets a practical and comprehensive introduction of everything
related to deep learning in the context of physical simulations.
As much as possible, all topics come with hands-on code examples in the form of Jupyter notebooks to quickly get started.
Beyond standard _supervised_ learning from data, we'll look at _physical loss_ constraints,
more tightly coupled learning algorithms with _differentiable simulations_, as well as extensions such
as reinforcement learning and uncertainty modeling.

We live in exciting times: these methods have a huge potential to fundamentally change what we can achieve
with simulations.

Throughout this text,
we will introduce different approaches for introducing physical models
into deep learning, i.e., _physics-based deep learning_ (PBDL) approaches.
These algorithmic variants will be introduced in order of increasing
tightness of the integration, and pros and cons of the different approaches

will be discussed. It's important to know in which scenarios each of the
different techniques is particularly useful.
