The subject of the Berlin Mathematical School is Mathematics, which encompasses many fields that are traditionally termed either "pure" or "applied" mathematics. We prefer, however, not to make that distinction; instead, we have grouped the research areas covered by the BMS into seven parts, each of which covers a quite broad, but coherent, part of mathematics. Below you can find descriptions of the BMS research areas: Research Area 1: Differential geometry, global analysis, and mathematical physics Research Area 2: Algebraic and arithmetic geometry, number theory Research Area 3: Probability, statistics, and financial mathematics Research Area 4: Discrete mathematics and combinatorial optimization Research Area 5: Geometry, topology, and visualization Research Area 6: Numerical mathematics and scientific computing Research Area 7: Applied analysis and differential equations
