We are Mathematics Münster

We aim to further develop mathematics in Münster into a research centre with high international visibility. We will tackle fundamentally important mathematical problems, viewing mathematics as an organic whole with countless interactions.

Mathematics Münster provides an umbrella integrating the four mathematical institutes of the University of Münster (Mathematical Institute, Institute for Analysis and Numerics, Institute for Mathematical Stochastics and the Institute for Mathematical Logic and Foundations of Mathematics) in order to foster collaboration between the 16 mathematical fields and scientific exchange.

Abel Prize for Gerd Faltings

We congratulate Prof. Dr. Gerd Faltings on receiving the Abel Prize 2026! His ideas and results have reshaped the field of arithmetic geometry. Faltings studied in Münster, where he completed his doctorate (1978) and his habilitation (1981). In 2012, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science. Several members of Mathematics Münster describe the impact of Faltings' work on their research and share personal memories.
