We have received the sad news that Prof. Dr Michael von Renteln passed away on 15 April 2026. He served as a professor at our faculty’s Institute of Analysis from 1980 until 2007. During this time, he also made a significant contribution to the history of mathematics, and in particular to the history of mathematics in Karlsruhe. We mourn with his family and will always honour his memory.
Mathematics Day takes place on 14 March and is a competition for pupils in the final two years of secondary school. The focus is on the (two-part) team and individual competitions. Parallel to the individual competition and the second part of the team competition, there will be a mathematics lecture and information about career opportunities for mathematicians.
