This Invitation to Mathematics consists of 14 contributions, many from the world's leading mathematicians, which introduce the readers to exciting aspects of current mathematical research. The contributions are as varied as the personalities of active mathematicians, but together they show mathematics as a rich and lively field of research. The contributions are written for interested students at the age of transition between high school and university who know high school mathematics and perhaps competition mathematics and who want to find out what current research mathematics is about. We hope that it will also be of interest to teachers or more advanced mathematicians who would like to learn about exciting aspects of mathematics outside of their own work or specialization. Together with a team of young ``test readers'', editors and authors have taken great care, through a substantial ``active editing'' process, to make the contributions understandable by the intended readership.

Diese Einladung zur Mathematik besteht aus 14 Beiträgen, viele davon von weltweit führenden Mathematikern geschrieben, die die Leser in spannende Aspekte aktueller mathematischer Forschung einführen. Die Artikel sind so vielfältig wie die Persönlichkeiten ihrer Autoren und zeigen, wie reich und lebendig die Mathematik als Forschungsgebiet ist.Das Buch richtet sich in erster Linie an interessierte Schüler und junge Studierende, die Mathematik aus der Schule oder von Wettbewerben kennen und die aktuelle Forschungsmathematik kennenlernen wollen. Zusammen mit einem Team junger "Testleser" haben die Herausgeber und Autoren  in einem intensiven Bearbeitungsprozess die Texte für junge Leser verständlich gestaltet. Schüler, Lehrer, Mathematiker und alle Mathematik-Begeisterten werden in diesem vielseitigen und spannenden Buch genussvoll lesen.
