Dr. Jörg Kortemeyer

Area of responsibility

Teacher for special tasks

Research Interests

• Mathematics in the transition school/university, especially pre-courses
• Investigation of the interface between mathematics and its application subjects (especially in engineering) as well as required mathematical competencies in mathematics application subjects
• Learning strategies in mathematics-containing courses (see also "LimSt" below)
• Design of the school/university transition taking into account affective characteristics in the STEM field in general
• currently: development of a learning center as a counseling center and workspace in the Institute of Mathematics
