The mathematical sciences are fundamental to every discipline within natural science and technology. Industry's interest in and need for mathematics has become increasingly obvious over the past decade, as enhanced quality and shorter development times have become necessary in order to be competitive. This has resulted in several large joint-venture industrial projects and the industrial financing of PhD students. Research profile To be able to meet external needs as mentioned above, a vigorous development of scientific research is called for within the school.
Research is conducted at a high international level.
This helps, in particular, decide which equations possess a formula for the roots. This field is also related to the Great Fermat Theorem. Combinatorics deals with the statistic of combinations of objects subject to certain conditions, related to geometry, set theory, games theory and optimization.
