Welcome to the Department of Mathematics

Mathematics

The department of Mathematics advances mathematics and its applications in the broadest sense. We combine a strong fundamental component with a genuine interest in applications.

This combination is the basis of our teaching curriculum and the same philosophy underlies our research activities. Research into fundamental and "pure" mathematics goes hand in hand with applications in biology and life sciences at large, in chemistry, in physics, in business and finance, and even in legal issues. Academic life at the department is dynamic, with our faculty, our many PhD students and postdocs, and our guests from all around the world.

More about members, seminars, vacancies, contact can be found at the bottom of this page.

Research

Research at the department is done on a wide variety of topics. Ranging from pure curiosity-driven research to very practical investigations with direct applications to our society. Most of this research falls into the following main themes: 

In practice, this is more than just disjoint division; cross-fertilization happens between many of these fields. Students enrolled in our PhD Program contribute to all research themes.

We furthermore participate in Collaborations.
