Student review [#24171] for Mathematics
at University of Cologne - UZK

The math program is comparably difficult in comparison to other subjects one can study in universities. And I wasn’t as passionate about the field as one probably should be. The classes took place at the worst time imaginable for students. Early at 8 o’clock. The lectures required quite a lot of perpetration in terms of learning the definitions towards being able to follow everything that was discussed in classes. The classes were followed by homework that usually took up a whole day if one wants to solve them by oneself. In parts, because they to some extent ask you stuff that wasn’t discussed in the previous lectures. The issue I see in that kind of task is that they require you to not just be present at the lectures but to google certain topics for hours. You can also ask professors a lot of questions and they tend to be nice and friendly about questions, the same is true for the tutors. The biggest shortcoming I see is that the lectures tend to cover too much information in too short a time and that the tasks eat up a lot of time too. If math is not your biggest passion in life do not study it my conclusion would be, because if you study it, you will need to spend a lot of time only with math and nothing else. If you are somebody who can read the Analysis 1 and 2 book from the library or loves to solve mathematical riddles for hours or days then go for it. If not then look for something else to study.
