Re­search

At the Institute of Mathematics, our research spans from fundamental mathematical studies to interdisciplinary collaboration. In the CRC TRR 358 project, Integral Structures in Geometry and Representation Theory, mathematicians from analysis and algebra work across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Additionally, our research focuses on stochastics, applied mathematics, and close partnerships with industry. We also place strong emphasis on mathematics education, integrating it into the Institute through collaborative research projects between mathematics education specialists and mathematicians.

Shang­hai-Rank­ing 2019: Math­em­atik der Uni­versität Pader­born erneut mit sehr guter Plat­zier­ung

Beim internationalen „Academic Ranking of World Universities“ (ARWU), auch bekannt als Shanghai-Ranking, ist die Universität Paderborn im Bereich Mathematik erneut unter die 100 besten Hochschulen weltweit platziert worden. Das ARWU gilt als eines der renommiertesten Forschungsrankings. Jährlich werden dabei mehr als 1200 Universitäten und deren Fachbereiche miteinander verglichen und ergeben am Ende eine Top-500-Liste. Damit steht die Paderborner Mathematik in Deutschland auf Platz 5 des Rankings.
„Die Platzierung bestätigt diejenige des Vorjahres und zeigt die Stärke der Paderborner Mathematik.“, unterstreicht Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reinhard Keil, Dekan der Fakultät für Elektrotechnik, Informatik und Mathematik.
Unter den Kriterien, die beim ARWU für die Entscheidungsfindung herangezogen werden, befinden sich etwa die Anzahl von Alumni und Mitarbeitern, die von anderen Wissenschaftler*innen viel zitiert werden, oder die Anzahl an Artikeln, die in Wissenschaftszeitschriften veröffentlicht wurden.
