The MAThematics Center Heidelberg (MATCH)

at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Sciences,
University of Heidelberg

The University of Heidelberg considers mathematical and computer based methods as scientific approaches with a high potential for interdisciplinary research. The MAThematics Center Heidelberg currently concentrates on the core areas Topology&Geometry, Arithmetics&Algebra, Applied Analysis&Mathematical Modelling, Numerics&Optimisation, and Statistics&Stochastics. This research has strong links to the interdisciplinary field of Scientific Computing with long-standing cooperation within the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR) of the University of Heidelberg. A special feature of Mathematics at MATCH is the building of research bridges between different areas within Mathematics and Applied Computer Science and into other disciplines. This center concentrates on top level research and also on education and support of young academics. In order to create further synergies, a visitors and conference program is organized. In the long run this is expected to lead to new synergies in mathematical research and in turn to an even stronger impact of mathematical methodology on other research areas such as biosciences, medicine and economics.
