Mathematics forms the basis of many innovations in technology, the service industry and science, such as data analysis and coding, artificial intelligence, weather or climate change modelling or understanding molecular processes. The researchers from the Mathematical Institute (MI) are constantly developing…

Fundamental research in the ALgebra, Geometry And Number Theory

A secret code that we currently use to send e-mails securely is based on the maths of a century ago. The geometrical surfaces that Dino Festi studied during his PhD research will perhaps be used in future codes or new physics. PhD defence 5 July.

In the first part of this thesis we study the geometry of folding patterns.

The Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory specialisation is the excellent preparation for a career in research. It is a suitable stepping stone for pursuing a PhD degree. The degree also gives you access to job opportunities outside academia.

The Mathematical Institute is responsible for the research and education in mathematics and statistics at Leiden University.

This PhD thesis concerns the topic of arithmetic geometry. We address three different questions and each of the questions in some way is about counting how big some set is or can be.

On 30 September 2013 Ronald Cramer, head of the Cryptology group of Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) and a professor of cryptology at the Mathematical Institute of Leiden University, was inaugurated as a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW).

The master’s programme offers two research-oriented specialisations where you can focus on Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory or Applied Mathematics. You can also combine Mathematics with education, management or science communication.

The Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory specialisation gives you profound knowledge of pure mathematics. The focus is on both fundamental mathematics and on applications in other sciences, society and industry. During your master’s you will be part of one of the multidisciplinary research teams at the…

Morality, mathematics, geometry, geography, music, navigation, and language are traditionally viewed as uniquely human cultural achievements and abilities. The study of their development and variation is classified as part of the humanities and social sciences. These fields have been mainly studied…

The Mathematics master’s programme will guarantee a thorough theoretical basis and will make sure you are ready to work in a multidisciplinary environment. Your mathematical degree will give you the right tools to operate successfully on the international market.

The Mathematics and SCS master specialisation gives you the opportunity to combine Mathematics research with different aspects of science communication.

The two-year research programme Applied Mathematics offers courses at an advanced level. There is a large degree of freedom in choosing one’s own topics. Some of the courses are given at national level, in the Dutch Mastermath programme. The programme concludes with the preparation of a master’s the…

Combining geometry and number theory. That is what Dr Jan Vonk of the Institute of Mathematics receives a Vidi grant for today. ‘By fusing these two disciplines we may be able to solve a century-old mathematical problem.’

This thesis explores interfacial conductance and electric field-effects in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures.

We study the dynamics of individual emitters in micro cavities.

This dissertation is a study of the view of the Neoplatonist Proclus (Athens, 411-485) on to what extent and how the changing and unreliable world of sense perception can itself be an object of scientific knowledge.

This is an Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility project of the Faculty of Science with Sichuan University in Chengdu.

The research of the Applied Mathematics cluster is concerned with such diverse topics as dynamical systems, representation theory, differential equations and pattern recognition.
