We want to promote female mathe­maticians. That is why we award the Entrepreneurial Awards as part of "Global Challenges for Women in Math Science". Apply with your project!

Seeing sounds, hearing patterns. On October 5, 2022, Prof. Jürgen Richter-Gebert held a lecture in the "Science for Everyone" series of the Deutsches Museum. This is also available as a video.

The "Hodge conjecture" is one of the mathematical millennium problems - and still unproven today. Jürgen Richter-Gebert and Christian Liedtke provide an insight in the series "The 7 Greatest Adventures in Mathematics".

We celebrated our successful graduates - together with their families and friends. Moreover, the best female students, best graduates, and best lecturers were honored. View the pictures of the graduation ceremony 2022!

In 2022, the "Data Science" certificate program takes place for the first time. Here, specialists and managers bring themselves up to date with the latest scientific findings. The course is a team effort of our department.

The new Deutsches Museum has been open to visitors since July 8, 2022. It includes the newly designed mathematics exhibition, in which Professor Jürgen Richter-Gebert was involved.

The Leopoldina, the National Academy of Sciences, has elected Professor Barbara Wohlmuth as a member. It is one of the highest scientific honors of a German institution. Congratulations!

Professor Fabian Theis receives an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council for his project "DeepCell". The goal: using machine learning to predict the effects of drugs on cells.
