How AI is Transforming Mathematics: International Workshop at UniDistance Suisse What happens when formal methods meet artificial intelligence? This question took centre stage at the international workshop “Formalization and Proof Assistants”, held from 25 to 27 March 2026 at UniDistance Suisse and organised by Professor of Mathematics David Loeffler. The event formed part of the “Spring Meetings” of the Swiss Mathematical Society and brought together leading experts from around the world.

Swiss National Science Foundation Supports Mathematics Project of UniDistance Suisse for Noise Reduction How can mathematics contribute to the long-term and sustainable reduction of noise and sound pollution? The project titled “Numerical Methods for the Efficient Acoustic Metamaterial Design”, led by Prof. Dr Matthias Voigt from the FernUni Switzerland, presents an innovative approach to addressing this question. The Swiss National Science Foundation has approved a grant of CHF 250,000 for this forward-looking research project over the next three years. Matthias Voigt shares insights into the project.

Les systèmes hamiltoniens à ports : un paradigme moderne pour la modélisation, la simulation, l’optimisation et la régulation de processus dynamiques Dans le domaine de l’ingénierie, il est courant d’utiliser des modèles mathématiques ou informatiques, par exemple pour simuler ou optimiser le comportement dynamique d’une machine. Une question tout à fait fondamentale dans ce contexte est de savoir quels sont les rapports et les grandeurs physiques qui influencent la dynamique.
