- Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences
-
The Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences(MPI-MIS) in Leipzig was founded on March 1, 1996.
At the institute scientists (mainly mathematicians) work on projects which apply mathematics in various areas of natural sciences, in particular physics, biology, chemistry and material science.
Main research areas are
- Scientific computing (group of Wolfgang Hackbusch),
- Nonlinear Analysis, in particular partial differential equations and calculus of variations with applications, e.g., on microstructures, micromagnetism and material science (group of Stefan Müller),
- Riemannian, Kählerian and algebraic geometry (group of Jürgen Jost),
- neuronal networks (group of Jürgen Jost),
- Mathematical physics (group of Eberhard Zeidler),
- Mathematical biology (group of Angela Stevens).
The institute has an extensive visitors programme which had made Leipzig a main place for research in applied mathematics.
