Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences
The building that hosts the MPI MiS
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
- Nonlinear algebra (group of Bernd Sturmfels),
- Pattern formation, energy landscapes and scaling laws (group of Felix Otto)
- Riemannian, Kählerian and algebraic geometry (group of Jürgen Jost),
- neuronal networks (group of Jürgen Jost),
The institute has an extensive visitors programme which had made Leipzig a main place for research in applied mathematics.
The MPI MiS is a member of ERCOM (European Research Centres in Mathematics).
