From the familiar sight of the red Sint Jans church tower looming over the city, to the iconic Sint Servaas bridge over the river Maas, to… mathematics research. Math/Maastricht joins these different worlds. The project explores a simple question: which location in the city reminds UM’s math-minded researchers of their work? The answers are diverse and often inspiring. The labyrinth in the … Fort Saint Pieter, the tower mill near Gronsveld... But why? Math/Maastricht followed twelve researchers to their chosen locations and documented their answers. The resulting stories and photographs show off both the city and the diverse range of mathematics-based research at Maastricht University.

… years to get to where we are today. But just how complicated can these familial relations get? Well: complicated enough for the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) to award a KLEIN-1 grant to Dr. Steven Kelk. He will explore the mathematics behind shrinking these sometimes impossibly huge evolutionary trees. Department of Data Science and Knowledge Engineering Faculty of Science and Engineering Trees of life – for instance showing how animals evolved from a common ancestor – are … recent years we’ve begun to realize that there isn’t really one tree of life. Depending on where you look, and the methods you use to build the tree, you get different outcomes”, Dr. Steven Kelk says. Computer says no Make no mistake: Dr. Kelk is a mathematician rather than a biologist. Where does his fascination for evolutionary trees come from? “To understand what’s happening with two different trees, you first want to try and put a number on their dissimilarity. While there are multiple ways to … this distance, some of the more interesting distances are really challenging to compute. I’m particularly interested in cases where you currently can’t calculate the distance, because the trees are simply too big for the algorithm to handle.” The mathematical answer to this problem lies in something called kernelization . In this case, it’s about reducing the size of the evolutionary trees without losing information. You can then use the compacted trees, which pose a much smaller challenge to …

… Zoekresultaten 2 mei 2023 Why do humans act the way they do? To answer this complex question, Hannes Rusch has to be a bit of everything: economist, biologist, philosopher, mathematician. He recently received a €1.5 million ERC Starting Grant to develop and empirically validate an interdisciplinary theoretical framework for describing exploitative relationships. The aim is to identify policy measures that will reduce … people lose so much time constantly applying instead of doing interesting research.” Florian Raith (text), Paul van der Veer (photography) Hannes Rusch is an associate professor of Economics at UM’s School of Business and Economics. After studying mathematics and philosophy at Technische Universität Braunschweig, he earned a PhD in biology from the University of Giessen and a PhD in economics from the Technical University of Munich. He completed his Habilitation in economics at the University of … motivations for moving to UM from Germany in 2019. “It really suits me. Many of my colleagues here also work in an interdisciplinary way and are open to different perspectives.” Rusch happily admits to having a rather ‘exotic’ profile. He studied mathematics and philosophy, and earned a PhD in biology before taking a sidestep into economics, where he then earned a second PhD. But the through line in his research interests has remained constant: “Why people do what they do is one of the most …

… a downward price spiral by de facto announcing market prices from 2013 to 2018. While reiterating that monitoring online retail prices by suppliers is, in and of itself, permitted, ACM found that the market transparency resulting from price-comparison websites, retailers’ online stores, and spider software allowed Samsung to analyse carefully the price fluctuations of its own television models and contact retailers, if necessary. Taking the Decision as a starting point, the question is how competition law should classify vertical information exchange on pricing when it is enabled or facilitated by web crawlers, price comparison sites and spider software. Does such exchange of information warrant a more flexible approach under competition law, or, as adopted by the ACM in Samsung, a stricter approach? From an economic perspective the question could be framed as: is the exchange of information between a manufacturer and resellers more likely to lead to higher prices in a situation where price comparison websites lead to price transparency, compared to a situation without price comparison websites? Assessment of restrictions in a vertical relationship, legal qualification in the Decision as by object restriction For the assessment of restrictions in a …

She found the programme on the Maastricht University website. “It appealed to me because the emphasis wasn’t just on computer programming. I wanted to know more about the mathematics behind data. Everything is data these days, and I love maths. The programme was right up my alley.” It was a bonus that the Netherlands has a ‘cool’ reputation among skaters worldwide. “I live for skating and surfing.” She has nothing but …
