In the final episode (for now) of our podcast series On a Tangent, we delve into the fascinating journey of Edith Hübner from physics to mathematics. The doctoral researcher in topology shares surprising lessons that gnomes can teach young children and takes us into the mysterious world of infinity categories.

Scientists from our Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster, the "Hausdorff Center for Mathematics" (Bonn) and "MATH+" (Berlin) will show in digital workshops and lectures the fascination of mathematics - from 3 pm to midnight. Don't miss Prof. Gustav Holzegel's talk "Die Mathematik schwarzer Löcher" at 10 pm.

Wir laden alle Interessierten herzlich zur nächsten Ausgabe der öffentlichen Vortragsreihe "Brücken in der Mathematik" ein. Wie funktionieren Abstandsregler im Pkw? Wie verhindern Fahrerassistenzsysteme Kollisionen? Und welche Rolle spielen dabei sogenannte kooperative Regelungen, die auf einer mathematischen Analyse basieren? Auf diese und mehr Fragen geht Prof. Dr. Jan Lunze (Ruhr-Universität Bochum) am 6. November 2024 um 18:30 Uhr in seinem Vortrag im Planetarium des LWL-Naturkundemuseums ein. Jetzt anmelden!

In the latest episode of our podcast On A Tangent, we meet Marjory Mwanza, a Fellow of the Young African Mathematicians programme. She shares her journey into group theory and how she uncovers fascinating, deeper structures in seemingly simple objects.

Franziska Jahnke has been a professor at the Mathematical Institute and the Institute for Mathematical Logic and Foundational Research since 1 September 2024. She conducts research in the field of model theory of fields. Her work combines mathematical logic with applications in algebra. In this interview, she provides insights into what she enjoys about mathematics and which moments in her career have been particularly important.

We are excited to present a new film about Mathematics Münster that offers authentic insights into the work at our Cluster of Excellence. The film highlights the research approach of Mathematics Münster and shows why Münster is an attractive place to work and research, especially for young mathematicians.

In order to give particularly talented high school students an insight into study programmes and research, the University of Münster has been a cooperation partner of the "Schülerakademie für Mathematik und Informatik NRW" (SMIMS) since 2022. Last week, the young maths talents visited our Faculty and our Cluster of Excellence to listen to short lectures and receive individual advice on study programmes and careers in science.

In the latest episode of "On a Tangent", find out why a person full of inventiveness is drawn to maths and how bridges are built between fundamental mathematical questions in different fields.

Shortly before Rob Sullivan left Mathematics Münster, he answered some questions on our podcast. In the latest episode of "On a Tangent", find out how to entertain children at boring weddings and why ultrahomogeneous structures are difficult to understand.

25 Mathematikbegeisterte Schülerinnen und Schüler der Jahrgangsstufen 10 und 11 aus Münster und dem Umland verbrachten vom 17. bis 22. Juni 2024 erlebnisreiche Tage bei der Mathematik-Sommerakademie auf Sylt. Prof. Dr. Michael Joachim und Prof. Dr. Matthias Löwe und die Doktorandinnen Isabel Lammers und Pia Dillmann hatten Workshops vorbereitet, die einen Blick in die Mathematik über den Schulstoff hinaus ermöglichte.

In this episode of our podcast "On A Tangent", Simone is joined by Azul Fatalini, a doctoral researcher in Set Theory. Learn about how the Axiom of Choice transforms the universes it holds in, how logic is the mathematics of mathematics, and what’s the quickest path to ice cream.

In the second episode of our Mathematics Münster podcast "On A Tangent", host Simone Ramello meets Mert Bastug, a doctoral researcher in PDEs and Calculus of Variations. They talk about Mert’s first meeting with mathematics, how it is possible to understand materials with the help of PDEs, and where they might take us next.
