马克斯普朗克数学科学研究所（Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences）,地址：德国,莱比锡；Our institute is one of two mathematical oriented institutes in the Max Planck Society. We have approx. 130 scientists and PhD students which are working on a wide area of problems. It is the institute's mission to do research work in the field of pure and applied mathematics and promote the interlinking of ideas between mathematics and the sciences in both directions. Experience in history shows that the fundamental problems of physics, chemistry, biology and other sciences have led to important new developments in mathematics while mathematics has had a profound impact on these fields of knowledge. For instance, Fourier's studies of the thermal conduction equations led to the development of the theory of Fourier series and in general to the creation of harmonic analysis. Beyond this, his practical work as a 。
