#MATHDAYS

Industrial Mathematics at School

Pupils are the target group of our #MATHDAYS offers.

#MOIN would like to support pupils and teachers in getting to know industrial mathematics at their own school or at locations on the campus of the University of Bremen. Our practical approach makes it possible to raise interest in mathematics and at the same time show exciting possible career paths as (industrial) mathematicians. We are happy to support this hands-on learning with illustrative exhibits and forward-looking, career-oriented and technological focuses.

Pupils recognize that mathematics does not just exist in classrooms, but has a real and significant impact on the world around them. They recognize how numbers, algorithms and models are actually used in industry. From the optimization of production processes to the development of innovative technologies, mathematics comes alive and becomes tangible.

The Campus Nachbarschaft project, for example, offers themes and research days for pupils. We see an increased need to reach female talent and young people from educationally disadvantaged families.

We want to introduce subsequent generation to current topics and future career opportunities in the field of industrial mathematics at an early stage so that our future generations can also drive forward innovative technical developments. The possibilities and future opportunities in industrial mathematics as a cross-sectional discipline that combines various STEM subjects are particularly diverse. The major event Zukunftsfeld Mathematik gives school classes and their teachers direct insights into everyday working life and the lively culture of industrial mathematics that has long been established there through selected presentations. On research days for upper school classes, pupils learn in concrete terms which industrial mathematics issues are being worked on in the context of #MOIN. Innovative and changing focus topics as well as attractive materials and exhibits from #MATHINSIDE underline the richness of developments in the field of industrial mathematics.

We would also like to introduce participants to industrial mathematics at non-university locations. An industrial mathematics city rally, for example, provides young people with surprising new perspectives on a seemingly familiar environment through various mathematical highlights and could be expanded in the future across cities and countries as well as in a cooperative and team-oriented manner.
