Bielefeld
is located in the northwestern part of Germany, half way between
Dortmund and Hannover, within the green hills of the Teutoburger
Wald. Bielefeld with its 300.000 inhabitants combines all the
advantages of a modern industrial centre with the parks and open
spaces of a garden city.
In the Middle Ages,
under the protection of a medieval castle, the Sparrrenburg,
which is now a landmark and symbol of Bielefeld, the city
developed as a thriving centre of trade and crafts. Later the
linen trade in particular was responsible for the city economic
growth and earned it the name of „Leinenstadt" (linen
town). In the 19th century Bielefeld became renowned as an
industrial centre because of ist flourishing textile and
engineering industries. Today it also has a very active cultural
life, with art exibihitions, drama and opera of international
standing.
The University of
Bielefeld, opened in 1969, ranks high among German Universities
through the quality of its research work which can been seen from
the number of Collaborate Research Centres financed by the German
Science Foundation and Post-Graduate Colleges which are located
in Bielefeld. Life and work at the University benefit from the
unique design of the University building. All departments and
institute are housed under one roof and are located within a
short distance of each other. The University library with ist -
open access - arrangement and unusual long opening hours has the
reputation of being the best in Germany.
The Faculty of Mathematics hosts the Collaborative Research Centre „Discrete structures in Mathematics" (SFB 343 - yearly budget 2.400.000.-- DM) and the Postgraduate College „Strukturbildungsprozesse". One further important research institute for stochastic processes, their applications and Mathematical Physics is the Bielefeld-Bochum-Stochastics Research Centre (BiBoS). At the Department of Mathematics at the Ruhr-University Bochum, the second seat of BiBoS, further research projects, like „Disorder and large Fluctuations" (SFB 237), a Post-Graduate College „Geometry and Mathematical Physics" and various international projects are located. The University library is also very good. More information is available on the Internet on both Universities
(www.uni-Bielefeld.de), Faculty of Physics/BiBoS (www.physik-uni-Bielefeld.de, BiBoS@physik.uni-bielefeld.de) and the Faculty of Mathematics (www.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de),
