Further information provided by the department

Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

The faculty's bachelor's degree programmes are coordinated, making it easy to switch between degree programmes. The Mathematics and Data Science teaching unit has close contacts with the other FAU faculties (Human Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, Natural Sciences, Economics and Social Sciences), allowing students to come into contact with the areas of application during their studies. Our bachelor's degrees provide automatic admission to all of our master's degree programmes.

Special features regarding teaching in the master's programmes

The faculty's master's degree programmes are coordinated, making it easy to switch between degree programmes. The Mathematics and Data Science teaching unit has close contacts with the other FAU faculties (Human Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, Natural Sciences, Economics and Social Sciences), allowing students to come into contact with the areas of application during their studies. Students who meet the requirements can enter a doctoral programme after completing the master's degree.

Special features regarding the international orientation

Two international, fully English-language Master's degree programmes offered, in computational and applied mathematics, and data science. Participation in several also completely English-language Master's degree programmes in other departments, e.g. integrated life sciences, computational engineering, advanced signal processing and communications engineering. Service and administrative offices of the department all speak English.

Exchange universities for stay abroads

Syddansk Universitet, Dänemark; Stockholms universitet, Schweden; Universite de Rennes 1, Frankreich; Universita degli Studi di Firenze, Italien; Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spanien

Special features regarding the equipment

The Mathematics and Data Science teaching unit is located in a new building on the Erlangen southern campus and has its own lecture halls, seminar rooms, PC pools and student learning zones. A private server structure allows our students to carry out complex mathematical calculations on PCs as part of seminar projects or final theses.

Special features regarding research activities

The focus is on modelling, analysis and simulation of fluid-structure interactions, multiphase flows, interface phenomena on small length scales, image processing, a posteriori estimation of modelling errors, efficient discretisation (HPC), infinite-dimensional Lie groups in quantum field theory, modular representation theory, quantum groups and duality theory, non-commutative symmetries, operator theory, stochastics of dynamic systems, combinatorial and mixed-integer optimisation, nonlinear programming, optimisation of systems and networks.
