Research at the Mathematics and Applied Mathematics

In the division Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, research is conducted and PhD students are trained in both pure and applied mathematics and everything in between. Some research areas, which are represented in the division, are the following:

• Algebra: group theory, Gröbner bases, commutative algebra
• Analysis: dynamical systems, partial differential equations, harmonic analysis, potential theory, inverse problems, functional analysis
• Discrete mathematics: graph theory, coding theory, combinatorics
• Geometry: differential geometry, algebraic geometry
• Didactics of mathematics: the transfer from upper secondary school mathematics to university mathematics, mathematical modelling, technical tools in mathematics teaching, mathematics as a language, proportionality in upper secondary school mathematics, lectures in mathematics teaching, teacher training in mathematics
• History of mathematics: 19th century mathematics
• Mathematical physics: modelling in mechanics, general theory of relativity, symmetries
• Topology: General topology, dimension theory
