A sphere is a sphere, regardless of its size or location. Mathematically speaking, it is a geometric shape defined by algebraic equations. And that is precisely what makes it a subject for experts such as Prof. Dr. Victoria Hoskins. We are delighted to welcome this renowned expert as a new professor of algebra at our faculty.

What challenges do children face when learning mathematics from elementary school onwards? How can they be supported in a meaningful way? Prof. Dr. Lukas Baumanns, newly appointed junior professor for Didactics of Mathematics at our faculty, wants to make their learning processes visible and develop effective support measures. He combines diagnostics and support with innovative research methods.

The world is full of uncertainty: Prof. Dr. Dominic Breit uses mathematics to get to the bottom of the causes. For example, he investigates how turbulence in rivers or the emergence of forces can be calculated. He is the newly appointed professor for Partial Differential Equations at our faculty.
