Applied Mathematics

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

The enormous technical progress during the last two decades resulted in highly innovative products and services that more than ever before are based on mathematical achievements. Modern mathematics is at the heart of an increasing number of innovations in the field of digital communication, satellite navigation, e-commerce, medical technology, and consumer electronics. The focus is on the training of mathematicians who are working at the interface to computer science and information technology and are capable of solving difficult and complex mathematical problems in the context of digital media using computers quickly and efficiently. The course promotes the development of independent and creative ways of working and provides the ability for lifelong learning, teamwork, and interdisciplinarity. The 6-semester program includes core modules in Analysis, Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics, Numerical Mathematics, and Computer Science, complemented by specialized courses in Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, and Computational Statistics. Students also complete a practical internship and a Bachelor thesis project in the final semester. After completing the course, graduates have the ability to do abstract, conceptual, logical, structural and algorithmic thinking, know the mathematical foundations of information security, coding and data compression, digital image processing, and pattern recognition in multimedia data. Career opportunities include telecommunications, IT-security, software development, microelectronics/consumer electronics, social media, automotive industry/telematics provider, medical technology, public service, research and development, teaching and training.
