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…

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

The research specialisation offers you the opportunity to spend two full years on training in applied mathematics to become an independent scientist with a strong theoretical basis.

The Applied Mathematics Programme consists of 120 European Credit Transfer System (EC) points. The programme consists of advanced courses (min 60 EC), a research project (40 EC) and electives (max 20 EC).

The thesis mainly contributes to the characterization of Majorana fermions as they appear in the Condensed Matter context.

Combine training in Mathematics research with different aspects of business studies. Learn to build bridges between science and business.

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 Mathematical Institute is one of the eight institutes of the Faculty of Science. The institute operates as a single unit defined by the activities of its members.

The research of the Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory programme ranges from fundamental mathematical theory to algorithms and applications.

The terms ‘social’ , ‘collective’ or ‘public’ memory, are often contrasted with ‘private’, ‘individual’ or ‘personal’ memory. All these terms derive from a fairly new and interdisciplinary scholarly field that is often referred to as ‘memory studies’, and that according to some critics has developed…

The master’s programme Mathematics at Leiden University focuses on analysis, probability and statistics, number theory and (arithmetic) geometry. It offers five specialisations ranging from Applied Mathematics to Mathematics and Business Studies.

Frank den Hollander has received the Humboldt Research Award of €60,000. He was nominated by two German colleagues with whom he is working together for an extensive period of time. ‘The award was a complete surprise to me.'

The information below concerns courses that our group teaches in Leiden. 

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…

Many important topics in computer science, such as the correctness of software, the efficiency of algorithms and the modeling of complicated systems, depend on sound theoretical underpinnings. In the Theory group, we study these fundamental building blocks and develop verification methods to prove system…

The effectiveness of antibiotics and the transport of the plant hormone auxin: both can be described using mathematical models. Sander Hille is a mathematician who works at the cutting edge of biology and mathematics. His interdisciplinary research is both fundamental and applied. When working on fundamental…

‘I got into Nature last year, I was nominated for a faculty teaching award and my kids don’t care. But if your simulations get on The Big Bang Theory then that’s something!’ says Huib van Langevelde.

The Gravitation programme NETWORKS has been awarded a COFUND grant of 3 million euros. Half of this comes from the European Commission's Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, with industry partners paying the other half. Of the fourteen new PhD candidates, two will join Frank den Hollander's research…
