GRK 597:  Analysis, Geometry and their Connection with the Natural Sciences

• Subject Area: Mathematics
• Term: from 2000 to 2009
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 272999

The aim of this research training group is to show the connection between the natural sciences and mathematics and to utilize it in theeducation of Ph.D. students.The research program is roughly divided into an analytic and a geometric part. The research topics come from material sciences andhydrodynamics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, classical mechanics, image processing, neural networks and from general relativity.It is an important concern of the education program to familiarizethe Ph.D. students with more than one application and with morethan one mathematical methodology.
