Technomathematics (Bachelor)

If you want to make a difference with mathematics, study technomathematics!

This can be understood quite literally when it comes to the simulation of crash tests in the automotive industry, the optimization of the hull of a racing yacht or an airplane, the calculation of traffic flows or the efficient transport of goods by logistics companies, but also in a more figurative sense when it comes to the planning of mobile phone or energy networks, the computer-aided search for new drugs, the design of highly integrated computer chips or the calculation of the acoustics of a concert hall. Technomathematicians are trained to solve large and small future tasks in interdisciplinary teams with engineers, technicians and computer scientists.

The Technomathematics program will start in the coming winter semester; it is not subject to admission restrictions. Students take modules in mathematics and computer science as well as in one of four possible application specializations: Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Environmental Engineering.

Programs called technomathematics have been created at about a dozen universities in recent years. However, the bachelor's program at the University of Kassel is the only one that offers combination options with environmental engineering, thus providing a strong environmental focus.
