The Master’s degree program “Mathematics for Natural Sciences” focuses on the correlation between mathematics and natural sciences – particularly physics – as well as analyzing specialized fields. Key topics include dynamic systems and chaos, complex analysis, theoretical physics, and differential geometry. Students also acquire core skills in the field of stochastics, covering elements such as statistical methods or stochastic differential equations.
