Changing the World With Mathematics – Workshops for Students

Prof. Dr. Michael Bortz, Head of our »Optimization – Technical Processes« department and Deputy Head of the »Optimization« division, and Isabelle Dieckhoff from the »Human Resources« team will be on site and have three exciting workshops and experiments with them:

  • Gemstones are rare and valuable. This makes it all the more important to cut them to perfection. Measure yourself against a computer and find out which of you can get the most gemstones from a rough diamond!
  • Schnapps and math don't go together? We model, simulate and optimize the schnapps distilling process – all together!
  • You have to travel to different cities, but how do you find the most sensible route? Together we will calculate the ideal route! 

The target group is students in grades eight to 13.
