The Korteweg-de Vries Institute for Mathematics (KdVI) is the institute for mathematical research at the University of Amsterdam. The KdVI is located in Amsterdam at the Amsterdam Science Park.[1]
Robbert Dijkgraaf, Alexander Schrijver, Nicolai Reshetikhin, Jacob Korevaar, Miranda Cheng, Harry Buhrman and Jan van de Craats are notable researchers connected to the institute. The KdVI is an institutional member of the Royal Dutch Mathematical Society[2] and the European Mathematical Society.[3]
Research
Among the core research directions of the KdVI are:[4][1]
- Algebraic geometry, prof.dr. Lenny Taelman
- Eric Opdam
- Theoretical physics and mathematical physics, prof.dr. Sergey Shadrin
- Discrete mathematics, algebraic combinatorics and graph theory, prof.dr. Jo Ellis-Monaghan[5]
- Pure analysis and dynamical systems, prof.dr. Han Peters
- Numerical analysis and applied analysis, prof.dr. Rob Stevenson
- Mathematical statistics and machine learning, prof.dr. Joris Mooij
- Probability theory and queueing theory, prof.dr. Michel Mandjes
- History of mathematics, dr. Gerard Alberts
- Didactics, dr. André Heck
The institute is involved in several interdisciplinary research collaborations, including The Amsterdam String Theory Group,[6] the NETWORKS programme[7] and the QuSoft research center for quantum software[8]
Education
Besides its research activities, the KdVI runs the education programmes in mathematics at the University of Amsterdam, namely the bachelor programme Mathematics[9] and the master programmes Mathematics[10] and Stochastics and Financial Mathematics,[11] and jointly organises interdisciplinary double bachelor programmes Mathematics and Physics and Mathematics and Computer Science.[9]
