Mathematics in Bonn

Bonn has a long scientific tradition in mathematics, going back to the 19th century, and is characterized by a particularly broad research spectrum. All important areas of mathematics are represented here: from the classical core areas over mathematical modeling and numerical simulation to the transfer of mathematics into technological applications. Moreover, in national and international rankings, Bonn occupies a leading rank in mathematics research and teaching within Germany.

In addition to the mathematical institutes of the University, the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics was established in Bonn some 30 years ago. It is one of only two mathematical Max Planck Institutes nationwide, with an extended international guest program. Moreover, its scientific members actively contribute to the study programs, in particular at the graduate level.

Thus, HCM builds on a very strong group of mathematical institutions in Bonn, in this form unrivaled in Germany. Moreover, the level of internationalization has been further expanded considerably in the past years.
