The “Queen of Sciences”
As the language of the natural sciences, mathematics is considered to be abstract, and yet it permeates many areas of everyday life. Basic research provides the foundation for numerous applications in medicine, technology, and economics.
Research fields for mathematicians therefore range from very abstract topics such as algebra, topology, and representation theory to the encryption of messages on the internet, the calculation of satellite trajectories, the simulation of chemical and physical processes, the planning and evaluation of clinical trials in medicine, and the development of new strategies for financial markets.
The Faculty of Mathematics offers a broad spectrum of research topics from basic research to applied mathematics, with the opportunity to investigate most of the issues mentioned above.
