Services

You are welcome to send us your request at fsr@math.uni-hamburg.de, and we will share it through our channels with other mathematics students. Please confirm in your email that we have permission to forward your request.

The request should include the following information:

Must Have

• Contact information such as email and/or mobile number.
• School or university? If it's school, which grade? If it's university, which program?
• Which topics should be covered?
• A few specific dates (e.g., for an exam) or regular tutoring sessions?

Every semester, the Student Council of Mathematics, with the help of the students, selects the Lecturer of the Semester, who is then honored at the graduation ceremony. The election for the Lecturer of the Semester takes place as part of the evaluation process. Along with the evaluation forms, you will receive another sheet where you can write down your favorite and provide a reasoning for your choice. Votes without justification will not be considered. Please fill out this form only once during the semester!

The result will then be announced here, among other places.

Who should I vote for?

The election for the Lecturer of the Semester should not only be about choosing the professor who taught your favorite course this semester. It is also important for us to honor a lecturer who is always open to questions from you students, who advocates for you, and who is able to inspire you for mathematics.

Current Lecturers of the Semester

We congratulate Dr. Sven-Ake Wegner as lecturer of the summer semester 2024 and Prof. Dr. Birgit Richter as lecturer of the winter semester 2024/2025.

In the FSR office in the TG, you will find a large collection of past exams and exam protocols. So if you need support while studying, just come by, and we will help you find the relevant materials. However, our Golden Rules apply:

Whoever reads exam protocols must write a new one themselves!
and...
Those who use past exams for preparation must bring a task sheet after the exam!

This ensures that our collection is always up to date and that everyone can find what they need.

In case you find the subject library too stuffy or prefer a more relaxed exchange with fellow students in the TG, you will find the on-site library of the Student Council (FSR) in the same place. It is located in the FSR office and includes many common textbooks as well as specialized literature from various mathematical fields, which you can use in the TG. Just approach any FSR member of your choice for assistance.

You can find an overview of the currently available books in the catalog. If a book is still missing, there is also a list on-site for acquisition requests, where you can add it, ideally with a brief justification.

The Learning Tuesdays are particularly designed for first-year students who are not yet very experienced in mathematical proof techniques. During these sessions, a handful of experienced students are available to assist you with your homework, explain topics again, and generally answer your questions. The difference from the tutorial is that during Learning Tuesdays, active work takes place, rather than just going through prepared questions.

The Learning Tuesdays take place on every tuesday during the lecture period, starting at 4 pm in the rooms 428 and 434.

In our cozy little lounge, you can usually find a handful of people playing Doppelkopf or engaging in similar activities at almost any reasonable hour. In addition to various card and board games, there are comfortable sofas and tables, a projector, and refreshments available. You can find room T30 by going up one floor next to the elevators on the ground floor and then straight ahead.
