• Numerical analysis with at least 9 CP
• Stochastics with at least 9 CP
• Additional courses with at least 27 CP from the areas of
  • Algebra or computer algebra
  • Complex analysis
  • Ordinary differential equations
  • Functional analysis
  • Number theory
  • Mathematical logic
  • Topology

 

Beside this a sufficient proficiency in English will be necessary, since the course language will be English. For the application it will be required to provide evidence for English language skills.

For more detailed information, please have a look at the website of the Department of Mathematics and also at the examination regulations §2 and §3. Examination regulations are only published in German as they are legally binding.

Under certain circumstances it is possible to catch up on some modules. You will then be required to take certain additional examinations during your studies ("Auflagen"). In the following, the professors responsible for the respective areas are listed. By default, the professor who is currently teaching the class will overview the exam.

• Linear algebra I - II: Prof. Dr. Ghislain Fourier, Prof. Dr. Gabriele Nebe, Prof. Dr. Alice Niemeyer, Prof. Dr. Eva Zerz and Prof. Dr. Gerhard Hiß
• Numerical analysis I - II: Prof. Dr. Lars Grasedyck, Prof. Dr. Sebastian Noelle and Prof. Dr. Benjamin Stamm
• Stochastics: Prof. Dr. Erhard Cramer, Prof. Dr. Udo Kamps, Prof. Dr. Maria Kateri and Prof. Dr. Ansgar Steland
