Why study mathematics? Mathematics is the intelligent and central core of our world. Mathematics helps us form and shape the world of tomorrow. Mathematics enables us to describe complex facts precisely and, thereby, make them accessible to qualitative and quantitative analysis. Mathematical knowledge will always remain valid, research does not render it obsolete, but leads to a better understanding, opening the way to new discoveries. The fundamental methodology and the understanding you will acquire can be used in numerous fields, such as the natural sciences, ICT, medicine, the life sciences, engineering, and the field of artificial intelligence (AI).
