Award ceremony for submitted photographic works

In the summer semester of 2025, Prof. Markus Stroppel organized a photo competition on the theme of “Symmetry interpreted mathematically and translated into images.” Students enrolled in mathematics courses (including Advanced Mathematics for Engineering Studies) were invited to submit photos with a brief explanation. The images were presented to the jury in an exhibition during a speed pitching session on July 15, 2025. After brief deliberation, the awards were presented.
