Do you like to get to the bottom of things and are not satisfied with the answer "because that's the way it is", but insist on a comprehensible explanation? Do you like Mathematics puzzles and don't mind getting your brain in a knot?
Then you might enjoy studying maths.

Mathematics is a key technology
Alfred Rényi, a Hungarian mathematician, once said: "A mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems". Studying maths has little to do with school mathematics. Those who choose to study Maths at BTU not only learn abstract logical thinking or how to solve tricky maths problems, but also learn how to describe all kinds of phenomena, from science to economics, in the language of Mathematics. Mathematics models can be developed, for example, to optimise bus timetables, increase the reliability of a complicated technical device, identify statistical anomalies in medical image data or use computer simulations to estimate the risk of natural hazards  or business failures  as precisely as possible.

Maths is teamwork
By the way, the image of a lone mathematician, sitting  in a study room and being isolated from the outside world has nothing to do with reality. In mathematics, interdisciplinary teams routinely work together, in academic research as well as  in industry or business, because most of today's problems in which mathematics plays a role cannot be solved otherwise. Therefore, exercises or study projects are often carried out in small groups of students, and a lot of emphasis is placed on teamwork and communication.

Maths is in demand
It is a persistent rumour that all problems in mathematics have already been solved, but there is no truth to this – studying mathematics offers excellent career prospects; unemployment among mathematicians is virtually .
