The MAThematics Center
Heidelberg (MATCH)
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.
