• #### News on quadratic polynomials ﻿

[SNAP-2017-002-EN] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-07-18)
Many problems in mathematics have remained unsolved because of missing links between mathematical disciplines, such as algebra, geometry, analysis, or number theory. Here we introduce a recently discovered result concerning ...
• #### Solving quadratic equations in many variables ﻿

[SNAP-2017-012-EN] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-12-30)
Fields are number systems in which every linear equation has a solution, such as the set of all rational numbers $\mathbb{Q}$ or the set of all real numbers $\mathbb{R}$. All fields have the same properties in relation ...
• #### Spaces of Riemannian metrics ﻿

[SNAP-2017-010-EN] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-12-28)
Riemannian metrics endow smooth manifolds such as surfaces with intrinsic geometric properties, for example with curvature. They also allow us to measure quantities like distances, angles and volumes. These are the ...
• #### Winkeltreue zahlt sich aus ﻿

[SNAP-2017-001-DE] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-08-23)
Nicht nur Seefahrerinnen, auch Computergrafikerinnen und Physikerinnen wissen Winkeltreue zu schätzen. Doch beschränkte Rechenkapazitäten und Vereinfachungen in theoretischen Modellen erfordern es, winkeltreue Abbildungen ...
