The Institute of Mathematics offers the opportunity to present modern mathematical problems and the Institute's current research areas to pupils in lectures. For this purpose, the lecturers visit the interested schools and give a lecture there, which lasts about one school hour, but also offers the opportunity to ask questions about the mathematics degree programme. If you are interested, please contact the lecturers directly to arrange an appointment.

Daniel Grieser:
- Darn, why is that not possible? Impossibility proofs in mathematics
