Probability
It is a major research subject in pure mathematics where probability interacts with other fields, like partial differential equations, and real and complex analysis. But it is also an important part of applied mathematics as stochastics analyses and models systems and processes. Therefore stochastics is used in many disciplines such as statistics, physics, economics and computer science.
In our days there is an increasing demand in the society for mathematicians with a strong knowledge in probability theory, a good understanding of applications of stochastics and a receptive attitude to new theories and problems. At our university, the research in stochastics focuses on stochastic analysis and its interactions with analysis and to applications in complexity theory, numerics and statistics.
