General idea
In mathematics education, the in-depth training of thought is of central importance. The ability to think flexibly in terms of form and operations, and create logical connections, is a key success factor in business and industry. Gaining mathematical skills and abilities does not just expand a person's own knowledge. It also leads to the development of innovative ideas and interdisciplinarity, in particular.
When providing mathematical tools, mathematics lessons align with the needs of the modules and courses within degree courses in the fields of economics and service.
