Melting Pot of International Mathematics

Mathematics is a very broad and diverse, as well as a currently changing research field. With the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics, Bonn’s mathematicians plan to consolidate their position as an international centre. The foundations have long been laid, with numerous mathematicians of worldwide renown already working in Bonn. Twelve research areas cover a broad spectrum of maths topics: from the classical core of mathematics, mathematical modelling and numerical simulation in the natural and social sciences as well as the direct transfer of mathematics into technical applications. Sections of economics and the geosciences, physics, biology and computer science have a strong grounding in mathematical know-how. The creation of new professorships at the interfaces makes it possible to extend bridges to these subjects in order to decisively drive forward promising future maths topics. The Cluster of Excellence also aims to bring together visiting scientists and researchers from all around the world to work on core topics that will change with each new semester. The participating institutions are: • University of Bonn (host institution) • Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Bonn
