Mathematical Institute
Mathematics is the science of numbers, geometrical objects and
structures. Experience proves that this abstract branch of science
often provides the language for describing and understanding real world
phenomena and the tools for the design of technology.
The Mathematical Institute of Utrecht University has the ambition to
cover a broad range of active areas of research. We aim for a
stimulating research environment with ample opportunity for interaction
between different fields.
This interaction is not restricted to areas within mathematics;
contacts with physics, biology and technological applications play an
equally important role in several of our research activities.
Research at the Mathematical Institute is carried out within the following areas:
