It was founded to consolidate all mathematical research and teaching in one institute. All bsc.-students at DTU receive at least 20 ECTS points worth of classes from MAT during their first year.

The institute is located in building 303 S at , quadrant 3 on in Lyngby, Denmark.

Mathematical Research[]

The research at Department of Mathematics covers both theoretical and applications issues and is currently centered on four main areas:

• Discrete mathematics
• Dynamical systems
• Applied functional analysis
• Geometry

Significant research is also done in graph theory by Carsten Thomassen.

Research Networks[]

MAT participate in several research networks.

The applied functional analysis group participate in a research network with , Topology Optimization (TOPOPT). The goal of TOPOPT is to use topology optimization and other structural optimization methods to develop systematic tools for design of Multiphysics structures. It is sponsored by a NEDO grant and a European Young Investigator award (EURYI). The group is also heading a mathematical network in modelling, estimation and control of biotechnological systems sponsored by The Danish Research Council for Technology and Production.

Collaborations[]

MAT co-organises - along with University of Southern Denmark - an annual European Study Group with Industry (ESGI), where a weeklong workshop is centered on finding solutions to mathematical modelling problems brought forth by the industry.

Master thesis projects and PhD projects are also completed in collaboration with private companies.
