Annotation

General information: The Master's degree programme in “Mathematics”, to a deepening and specialisation in mathematics as well as in the subsidiary subject and in particular leads to an intensification of independent scientific work. The degree course is more research oriented. Students can, however, emphasise the application-related aspects by setting individual focal points. The in-depth study in a minor subject guarantees that the use of mathematical methods is also reflected in an interdisciplinary context. Research focuses: The in-depth lectures, seminars or internships are usually completed in the fields of work represented in the department. These include - Algebraic Lie-Theory, - Algebraic and complex geometry, - Differential geometry and analysis, - Discrete Mathematics, - Numerical Mathematics and Optimisation and - Stochastics. There is a wide range of subjects to choose from for a minor subject. The most frequently chosen subjects are: Business administration, biology, geography, computer science, physics, economics.
