Short programme description: The programme equips students with solid foundations in
analysis, algebra, discrete mathematics, numerical computing and probability theory. The
latter is a prerequisite for in-depth knowledge of advanced statistical and stochastic topics
and is therefore an important advantage on the labour market within the financial sector. In
addition, the student also learns the basics of computer programming. The computer-orien-
ted courses and thought processes an individual develops while studying mathematics provi-
de a good farewell for a career in software development.

Educational and professional goals:
• To learn and strengthen the foundations of the basic areas of mathematics, which are

necessary for understanding specialised areas;
• To learn about a range of specialties in mathematics, in both theoretical mathematics

and applied mathematics;
• To adopt a »problem solving« way of thinking that distinguishes mathematics and is in-

dispensable in all sciences, professions and everyday life;
• To attain a structured way of thinking and a variety of computer skills, which are the

foundation for students who wish to enter the software sector;
