The teacher training program in mathematics qualifies students to teach mathematics at one of the Hessian school types. The Institute of Mathematics is significantly involved in the teacher training courses:
The study programs consist of subject-specific and subject-specific didactic parts. In both parts, the study program contains a compulsory and an elective part.
Among the teacher training programs, the subject-specific part is largest in the L3 program. In this program, each student chooses two subjects. The standard duration of the program is nine semesters, including the semester of examinations.
If they choose mathematics as their subject, L3 students take the courses Linear Algebra, Fundamentals of Algebra, Geometry, Analysis 1 in the first three semesters. These courses are offered jointly for the Bachelor of Mathematics and the L3 Mathematics teacher training programs. Due to these joint courses, there is an extensive permeability between the Bachelor's and the L3 studies in the first year of study, which enables the students to reorient themselves between these degrees without any loss of time, if necessary.
The subject-specific academic counselling is aimed at prospective students, students in the introductory phase of their studies, students in part-time studies as well as the specialisation counselling. The Central Student Advisory Service is also available for further concerns. Writing consultations are offered by the Writing Centre at Riedberg.
During your mathematics studies at Goethe University, you have the opportunity to study one or more semesters at a foreign university. For European countries, the ERASMUS programme provides the framework as well as financial and organisational support for your stay abroad. There are also programmes for stays in non-European countries that provide you with organisational support and financial assistance. You can find further information at Global Office of the Goethe-University.

Invitation from the Dean of Studies
The Fachschaft Mathematik offers an orientation event by students for students, which usually takes place over 7 days before the start of the lecture period. The subject-specific preliminary course is embedded in this event. Participation in the orientation event is voluntary, but attendance is recommended. In addition to information from students about everyday study life and the structure of timetables, you will receive information from the Dean of Mathematics about the structure of the degree programme, the examination regulations and the study regulations.
You will receive information and an invitation to the mathematics orientation event on the student council homepage.
Please register for this event on the corresponding homepage.
The course is aimed at students of mathematics (B.Sc. and teaching degree) who have no experience with university mathematics. In this course we want to introduce some basic concepts of mathematics that you will encounter in the lectures of the first semester and talk about different principles of proof. We will consolidate what we have learned by means of many exercises, which will be supervised by tutors from higher semesters. In addition, we will discuss various methodological aspects of mathematics studies, e.g. "How do I (effectively) read a mathematical text?" or "How do I approach an exercise?".
The course will take place in presence.

This course largely follows the script by Theresa Kumpitsch from previous semesters. This in turn follows the preliminary course by Sven Jarohs (script) as well as Kerstin Hesse's Introduction to Mathematical Thinking and Working, the Introduction to Mathematical Working by Hermann Schichl and Roland Steinbauer and the Introduction to Mathematical Thinking and Working -- tutorial and transparent by Joachim Hilgert, Max Hoffmann and Anja Panse.
Neither in this course nor in the preliminary courses linked above is school material refreshed. The university's Online Mathematics Bridge Course (OMB+) is a good place to start. Please note that this bridge course is not a preparation for the study of mathematics.
