The welcome will take place in the large lecture theatre together with Institute Director Prof. Dr Konstantin Pankrashkin.

After being beautifully inspired by ubiquitous geometric shapes from nature, art and even our own bodies, we embark on a historical journey from the ancient Greeks to the present day in the footsteps of geometry.

Prof. Dr Boris Vertman

A mathematical competition in teamwork for groups of 2-4 pupils. The best teams are honoured with certificates and prizes. The competition consists of tasks that challenge different mathematical skills, especially logical thinking and reasoning. The groups can pursue different solution strategies, e.g. solve the tasks together or divide them up among themselves. Calculators are allowed.

Why don't you try solving the following problem (from a previous competition): The planet Brick has the shape of a cuboid with edge lengths of 10 m, 20 m and 40 m and is completely covered with grass. A goat is pegged in the centre of one of the largest sides. What is the minimum length of the rope required for the goat to graze the entire planet?
(The shorter the justified rope length, the more points you get for this task).

Discover the fascinating combination of maths and magic in this workshop. Immerse yourself in the world of card tricks and learn how to create amazing illusions using mathematical concepts. Expand your skills and become a card pro!

Dr Carolin Lena Danzer

We have three former maths students as guests. All three have already started their careers and will talk about their studies in retrospect and how they use their acquired skills in their current professional lives. Questions from the audience are welcome.

Prof Dr Marcus C. Christiansen

Here you can find the current menu of the canteen in Wechloy.

Please note that only cash payment is possible in the canteen.

Crane, frog or simply a paper aeroplane - who hasn't folded at least one of these at least once? But what else can you actually fold and what does it have to do with maths? That's exactly what we want to look at in this lecture.

Prof Dr Milena Wrobel

The best teams in the competition will also be honoured with certificates and prizes at the joint farewell ceremony in the main auditorium.

As the central contact point in the foyer, the information stand is run by the student body for mathematics. Here you can ask questions about the Day of Mathematics as well as about studying.
