TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology. The TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology (CIT) is a school of the Technical University of Munich, established in 2022 by the merger of three former departments. As of 2022, it is structured into the Department of Mathematics, the Department of Computer Engineering, the Department of Computer Science, and the Department of Electrical Engineering.

Department of Mathematics 
The Department of Mathematics (MATH) is located at the Garching campus.

History 
Mathematics was taught from the beginning at the Polytechnische Schule in München and the later Technische Hochschule München. Otto Hesse was the department's first professor for calculus, analytical geometry and analytical mechanics. Over the years, several institutes for mathematics were formed.

In 1974, the Institute of Geometry was merged with the Institute of Mathematics to form the Department of Mathematics, and informatics, which had been part of the Institute of Mathematics, became a separate department.

Research Groups 
As of 2022, the research groups at the department are:
 Algebra
 Analysis
 Analysis and Modelling
 Applied Numerical Analysis, Optimization and Data Analysis
 Biostatistics

Department of Computer Science 
The Department of Computer Science (CS) is located at the Garching campus.

History 
The first courses in computer science at the Technical University of Munich were offered in 1967 at the Department of Mathematics, when Friedrich L. Bauer introduced a two-semester lecture titled Information Processing. In 1968, Klaus Samelson started offering a second lecture cycle titled Introduction to Informatics. By 1992, the computer science department had separated from the Department of Mathematics to form an independent Department of Informatics.

In 2002, the department relocated from its old campus in the Munich city center to the new building on the Garching campus.

In 2017, the Department celebrated 50 Years of Informatics Munich with a series of lectures and ceremonies, together with the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the Bundeswehr University Munich.

 2016 – Daniel Cremers
 2008 – Susanne Albers
 1997 – Ernst Mayr
 1995 – Gerd Hirzinger
 1994 – Manfred Broy
 1991 – 

Friedrich L. Bauer was awarded the 1988 IEEE Computer Society Computer Pioneer Award for inventing the stack data structure. Gerd Hirzinger was awarded the 2005 IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Pioneer Award.  and Burkhard Rost were awarded the Alexander von Humboldt Professorship in 2011 and 2008, respectively. Rudolf Bayer was known for inventing the B-tree and Red–black tree.

Department of Electrical Engineering 
The Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) is located at the Munich campus.

History 

The first lectures in the field of electricity at the Polytechnische Schule München were given as early as 1876 by the physicist Wilhelm von Bezold. Over the years, as the field of electrical engineering became increasingly important, a separate department for electrical engineering emerged within the mechanical engineering department. In 1967, the department was renamed the Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and six electrical engineering departments were permanently established.

In April 1974, the formal establishment of the new TUM Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering took place. While still located in the Munich campus, a new building is currently in construction on the Garching campus and the department is expected to move by 2025.
