The Chair of Applied Mathematics was established with the appointment of Helmut Florian (1971-1994). His successor was Wolfgang Tutschke (1996-2002).

The Institute of Discrete Mathematics emerged from the Mathematics II and III departments. Mathematics II existed under different names and included "practical geometry" (geodesy) from 1841-1959. The holders were Florian Schindler (1842-1845), Friedrich Hartner (1845-1851), Josef Herr (1853-1858), Anton Winckler (1859-1866), Moritz Allé (1867-1882), Gustav Escherich (1883-1885), Franz Mertens (1885-1894), Oskar Peithner (1894-1921), Bernhard Baule (1921-1938), Lother Koschmieder (1939-1945), Bernhard Baule (1945-1962), Wolfgang Hahn (1964-1981), Rainer Burkard (1982-2011).

The Chair of Mathematics III was founded in 1971 and occupied by Rudolf Domiaty (1971-1997).

• Wolfgang Woess 2004 - 2017

The Chair of Statistics was founded in 1973 and filled by Ulrich Dieter (1973-2002). His successor was István Berkes (2003-2015) and as Professor of Applied Statistics Ernst Stadlober (1997-2016).

• Wolfgang Müller 2016 - 2021

The Institute of Geometry emerged from the Chair of Descriptive Geometry, later of Geometry. Incumbents were Max Bauer (1854-1860), Rudolf Niemtschik (1861- 1870), Emil Koutny (1871-1881), Karl Pelz (1878-1896), Rudolf Schüßler (1897-1931), Josef Krames (1933-1939), Heinz Horninger (1944-1945), Friedrich Hohenberg (1948-1955) and Hans Vogler (1973-2004).
