About the Program

Mathematics is everywhere. For more than 2500 years, it has been describing our world and clarifying connections. It prepares us for the future by helping us recognize properties and patterns in abstract structures and thereby solve complex problems. Almost no field can do without it anymore. Whether weather forecasting, architecture, business consulting, or software programming - dealing with complex issues is an integral part of many professional profiles. In the Mathematics program, you will not only acquire comprehensive knowledge of basic and advanced mathematics but also receive the necessary tools and abstraction skills to detach yourself from specific tasks, abstract to larger problems, and build bridges to other areas. This freedom and imagination of mathematical thinking help you invent new things, pursue innovative ideas, and find creative solutions to society's diverse challenges. The program offers specialization in areas such as Algebra and Number Theory, Analysis, Geometry and Topology, Stochastics and Numerics. Students also choose a minor subject that has cross-connections to mathematics, such as Physics, Computer Science, Biology, History of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Economics, or Philosophy.
