Case Studies Summer Semester 2025
In the summer semester 2025, we offer the case study modules “Case Studies Life Science Mathematics”, “Case Studies Optimization” and “Case Studies Scientific Computing” for Master's students on a mathematics degree program. In these courses, you will work on a current real-world problem together with other students and a project partner from industry or research.
In the “Case Studies Optimization” (replaces the previous modules “Case Studies Discrete Optimization” and “Case Studies Nonlinear Optimization”), we offer a series of exciting projects from discrete and nonlinear optimization in the summer semester 2025.
Participants work in small groups of typically four people. Project work includes describing the problem mathematically, modeling it and working out its key properties. On this basis, you will then develop possible solutions, which you will implement as prototypes and test on real data. You will present your results both internally and externally. Participants receive extensive supervision and individual support.
Joint information event with presentation of the projects on February 06, 2025, 6:15 pm, Interims I lecture hall 2 (5620.01.102).
The application deadline is Monday, March 17, 2025!
As part of the case studies, we offer introductions to soft skills such as presentation techniques, project planning and team organization. A particular focus is on combining mathematics with a specific real-world application. You will also learn how to present your progress and results of your project to people from other disciplines and with different educational backgrounds.
This course is geared towards master students in mathematics, in particular students of the study programs "Mathematics in Operations Research", "Mathematics" with the study focus "Optimization", and "Mathematics in Science and Engineering".
