Mathematical modeling, the solving of open-ended, reality-based text problems, is an important part of mathematical education. However, many pupils find it difficult to solve modeling tasks, which raises the question of how they can be supported in the best possible way. In the first project phase of “ViMo”, drawing a sketch proved to be a promising strategy for promoting modeling skills in the field of geometry. However, it turned out that…

Conference in honor of Michael Dellnitz. During the last 25 years, computational techniques for dynamical systems and optimization problems have been developed which allow for the efficient and rigorous approximation of solutions of arbitrary shape and topology. They already have found manifold applications in, e.g., molecular dynamics, engineering, climate research and biology.  The goal of this workshop is to bring together international…
