The institute participates in beginners' and export lectures, teaches basic and advanced B.Sc. and B.A. courses in algebra and geometry and offers M.Sc. courses in group and character theory, Lie theory and (algebraic) geometry. In addition to learning abstract theories special emphasis is placed on an algorithmically oriented education in the field of theoretical mathematics. This also includes the use and development of appropriate software packages and of programming languages.
Algorithmically oriented teaching in the field of algebra and geometry
The IDSC designed the lecture track "Groups, Algorithms, Geometries and Applications" for undergraduate students of mathematics. This track conveys computational methods in algebra and geometry and also forms the basis for subsequent theoretical specialisations in the fields of algebraic geometry and group theory at graduate level.
