Ralph Meyer discovered his passion for drawing and storytelling at a young age, a path that naturally led him to comic books. His artistic journey has been shaped by a diverse range of influences, from slapstick humor to the existential depths of superheroes, with a significant impact from the work of Giraud (Moebius). Meyer's distinctive style is characterized by dynamic lines and a remarkable ability to immerse readers in visually striking narratives. His work often delves into darker themes, exploring complex characters within compelling, atmospheric settings.
This volume contains the Proceedings of the Courant-Colloquium „Trends in Mathematics“, which took place at the Mathematics Institute of the University of Göttingen in October 2007. Contributions reflect recent trends in number theory, geometry, algebra as well as mathematical physics and apply to higher order structures in mathematics.
