Our aim is to develop mathematical techniques and ideas which are relevant for applications in the natural and social sciences, and to investigate their implications in selected case studies. Mathematically, we focus on nonlinear analysis (calculus of variations, partial differential equations), numerical mathematics, probability theory and stochastic analysis. Presently the main application areas are physics and mechanics.


Our institute is a founding member of the excellence cluster Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) in Bonn and consists of the following research groups:

Bonn Research Chairs

Bonn Junior Fellows

Heisenberg Fellow (Heisenberg-Stelleninhaber)

Interdisciplinary Research Units

Emeriti

 

Wegen des fortdauernden Angriffs Russlands auf die Ukraine hat die IMU (International Mathematical Union) entschieden, dass der International Congress of Mathematicians im Juli nicht wie geplant in Sankt Petersburg stattfinden wird, sondern digital durchgeführt wird und die Preisverleihungen an einem anderen Ort stattfinden werden. Die Fachgruppe Mathematik und das Hausdorff-Zentrum für Mathematik schließen sich der DMV an und unterstützen diese Entscheidung; wir bringen unsere Sympathie für die ukrainische Bevölkerung zum Ausdruck und verurteilen die Handlungen der russischen Regierung. Bis auf weiteres werden wir die Zusammenarbeit mit russischen Forschungseinrichtungen aussetzen.

Due to the ongoing Russian attack on Ukraine, the IMU has decided that the ICM in July will not take place in Saint Petersburg as planned, but will be conducted digitally and the award ceremonies will take place at a different location. The Fachgruppe Mathematik and the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics join the EMS and the DMV in supporting this decision and in expressing sympathy to the Ukranian people while condemning the actions of the Russian government. As by now we will suspend cooperation with research institutions in Russia until further notice.

The Department of Mathematics offers 10 grants for Bachelor or Master students of Mathematics who had to leave their former university or their country because of the war in Ukraine. They are invited to continue their studies in Bonn and will receive special support. The grants will amount to 900 € per month for two years, with a possible prolongation. See here for more information on the application process and the admission requirements.
