Welcome to the Felix Klein Center for Mathematics!

Are you fascinated by mathematics? Then the Felix Klein Center for Mathematics is the right place for you! Whether your focus is on school, university studies, or a teaching career, the Center’s goal is to support mathematics enthusiasts and build networks.

The Felix Klein Center for Mathematics serves as the institutional link between the Department of »Mathematics« at the Rhineland-Palatinate Technical University Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM. It was founded in December 2008 as part of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate’s “Mathematics Initiative” and is named after the renowned mathematician and science organizer Felix Klein (1849–1925). The Center brings together excellent research and teaching in both pure and applied mathematics at the Kaiserslautern campus.
