    About Master of Science in Mathematics

    Mathematics at the University of Kassel is oriented toward application and computing. The Institute of Mathematics specialises in analysis, computer algebra, optimisation, discrete mathematics, stochastics, and numerics. Typical course topics include functional analysis and partial differential equations, variational calculus and mathematical physics, computational commutative and differential algebra, cryptography and coding theory, discrete optimisation, numerical analysis of ordinary and partial differential equations, stochastic modelling and simulation, and stochastic processes. All students choose a minor subject from physics, computer science, nanoscience, or economics, accounting for roughly one fifth of the coursework and encouraging engagement across disciplines. There are no compulsory mathematics courses; students select freely each semester from the available Master's courses and seminars. Six months are reserved for the Master's thesis. Courses are taught in small groups, and weekly homework assignments are individually marked by tutors. The four-semester programme admits students in both winter and summer semesters.
