The Institute For Mathematical Sciences (Danish: Institut for Matematiske Fag ved Københavns Universitet) is an institute under the Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen.
The institute is located in the E building of the Hans Christian Ørsted Institute, on Universitetsparken 5 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
From the founding of the University of Copenhagen in 1479, mathematics had been part of the Faculty of Philosophy. In 1850 it was moved to the new faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The Institute for Mathematical Sciences was first created in 1934 next to the Niels Bohr Institute building, when Carlsberg Foundation donated money for a building in celebration of the 450th anniversity of the University of Copenhagen in 1929. In 1963 the institute moved to its current location.
Mathematical Research
Many different branches of mathematics is being covered by the field of interest by the different researchers at the institute. However in the field of pure mathematics, at least since the beginning of the 1980, many of the researchers at the institute have been specializing in the branch of analysis called operator algebra, in particular C*-algebra, and recently non-commutative geometry.
