I study mathematics because you discover and don‘t invent. Mathematics makes it easy to understand what’s already there.
Mathematics is the language that we can use to describe reality. It fascinates me, because I can reveal something that’s actually hidden. I'm not inventing something; I'm discovering it. I chose TU Graz because it has a very good reputation – and because the
