Mathematical Institute
The Mathematical Institute of Utrecht University covers 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.
Education
-
MathematicsUnderstanding mathematical structures and solving intellectual puzzles. Analysing problems in terms of logical steps. That is mathematics.
-
Mathematics & applicationsMathematics & applications is concerned with the interaction between mathematics and society. The student chooses from a broad selection of fields.
-
Mathematical SciencesThis Master’s programme (in English) provides you with a profound theoretical and practical background in either pure or applied mathematics.
-
Double bachelor mathematics-physicsThis double bachelor is aimed at ambitious students who like to take advantage of the increased depth and opportunities of a combined study of mathematics and physics.
- We have a long tradition of double bachelors.
-
Double bachelor Mathematics-Computing SciencesThis double bachelor is of interest if you like to unravel structures and like to convert your analysis into a design and implementation of a working computer program.
Research
-
Mathematical modellingMathematical modelling investigates models with direct links to applications. We study topics in probability and statistics, dynamical systems, mathematical statististical mechanics, ergodic theory, scientific computing, algorithms, industrial mathematics.
- We act at the forefront of international research and education.
-
Fundamental MathematicsFundamental mathematics is concerned with structures and concepts. Unexpected repercussions of fundamental mathematics for other fields are not uncommon. We also study the history of mathematics.
