Numerical Integration Maths circle meeting on 10 May 2025
Room and time: virtual/online with the video conferencing software Zoom (Paderborn University campus licence) from 10:00 to 13:00
Leader of the workshop: Dr. Kerstin Hesse
Description: How do you calculate the area between the graph of a function and the x-axis on the interval [a,b]? In doing so, parts of the area above the x-axis should have a positive sign and parts of the area below…
Abstract:
Arithmetische Basiskompetenzen zu Schulbeginn sind zentral für das weitere Mathematiklernen. Regelspiele mit mathematischem Potenzial sind ein wirkungsvoller Ansatz für die Förderung dieser Basiskompetenzen. Lernprozesse bedürfen aber auch der Unterstützung und Begleitung durch die Fach- bzw. Lehrkraft. So deuten empirische Befunde darauf hin, dass die Entfaltung des mathematischen Potenzials nicht nur von anregendem Material, sondern…
Abstract: Inspired by Margulis’ super-rigidity theorem about finite dimensional representations of lattices in higher rank semisimple Lie groups, Zimmer formulated the so-called Zimmer Program which calls for the study and potential classification of actions of higher rank semisimple Lie groups, and their lattices on manifolds. I will report on much recent progress, especially when the dynamics of the action is complicated, with lots of…
Prime numbers and prime twins Maths circle meeting on 24 May 2025
Room and time: virtual/online with the video conferencing software Zoom (Paderborn University campus licence) from 10:00 to 13:00
Leader of the workshop: Dr. Kerstin Hesse
Description: A prime number is a natural number greater than or equal to 2 that has only the number 1 and itself as its only positive divisors. We prove that there are infinitely many prime numbers and we…

Geometric figures in the square grid
Maths circle meeting on 14 June 2025
Room and time: virtual/online with the video conferencing software Zoom (Paderborn University campus licence) from 10:00 to 13:00
Leader of the workshop: Dr Kerstin Hesse
Description: We consider a rectangular square grid in which all points of the grid have a distance of 1 to the direct link to the neighbouring points. The grid points are therefore (m,n), where m, n…
