Fakultät für Mathematik und Informatik, Campus Garching

Our department

The Department of Mathematics on the Research Campus in Garching plays a central role at the TUM. We are on the front line in important contemporary research and offer our students a solid and modern mathematics education – within our department, in engineering subjects and for teacher training courses.

Forschung: Mathematische Symbole an der Tafel 2

Our research

Mathematics research on the interface between theory and applications is our mission. We offer a wide variety of opportunities, from fundamental areas of pure maths to mathematical applications in engineering, computer science, life sciences and much more.

Our study programs

In a modern society, mathematics is about much more than proving theorems and making calculations. It is about connecting, delving into modern technologies, and putting current research results into the context of concrete applications. It it about understanding on a high and a low level. Our range of study courses offer a wide and practically orientated spectrum.

Outreach

Our department offers numerous programs for the general public. Alongside many programs for schools, the mathematics exhibition ix-quadrat is a particular highlight. Here one can get to grips with mathematics at first hand.

International TUM

We are international! Our department is open for incoming students of all nationalities. And we actively support our students in planning and organising trips and study periods abroad.

SFB Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics

Highlights

The Collaborative Research Center Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics enters its 3rd funding phase: from 2020 to 2024, the German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding the project with more than 7 million euros. It builds a bridge between basic geometric research and analytical dynamics.
