The mostly application oriented research at the department for Mathematics is based on the orientation of the existing workgroups:

• Discrete and Algorithmic Mathematics
  
  
• Stochastics and Financial Mathematics
  
  
• Geometry and mathematical Physics
  
  
• Modelling, Numerics, Differential Equations

The departments research is thereby characterised by a plurality of third-party-funded projects, especially within the network of Mathematics at Berlin (e.g. Matheon,BMS and SFB/TR 109) and in cooporation with other natural and engineering sciences. With its research accomplishments the department for mathematics earns leading positions in national and international rankings.
