| I. Mathematics, Physics and Earth Sciences | |
| Name: | Section of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science |
| Description: | Research in physics covers a broad spectrum of problems ranging from the basic constituents of matter and fundamental laws of nature to the detection and processing of experimental data from large accelerators. It also includes high-pressure, low-temperature, plasma and condensed matter physics, non-linear optics, and nuclear physics of low and medium energies. Astrophysical research is primarily concerned with solar physics, solar flares, dynamics of solar system bodies and the formation of stars and galaxies. The realm of mathematics and computer science covers highly abstract disciplines, such as logic and topology, differential equations and their numerical solutions and statistical methods. Even the purely theoretical investigation of neural networks, optimization and numerical modelling is frequently motivated by concrete problems of the natural sciences with applicable results. The section is comprised of six institutes having a total of 1,270 employees, of whom 690 are graduate research workers. |
