Department of Mathematics

Welcome! We conduct high-quality research and education in a wide range of mathematical areas. Our researchers seek truth and elegant solutions at the cutting edge of research and, as teachers, they provide our students with the tools to understand our world and solve its problems. We have an attractive and dynamic research and study environment with many visitors, seminars and other events.
