Mathematics
... is the science that arose from the study of figures and arithmetic with numbers. It forms the basis of physics and engineering sciences. In addition, it already plays a prominent role in economics and finance and is gaining increasing importance in the life sciences. Computers, quantum mechanics, CD players, MP3, mobile phones, the Internet, nano- and biotechnology are achievements of recent decades that have arisen because the underlying mathematics first had to be understood. Therefore, our mathematics graduates have the best career opportunities in almost all industries: At banks, insurance companies, at consulting and software companies, as well as in research and teaching.
The study of mathematics in Ilmenau is a combination of the subjects mathematics and computer science with economics and engineering. For this purpose, we offer a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and a Master' s degree in Mathematics and Business Mathematics.
