Education

The Department of Mathematics is responsible for all courses in mathematics for all fields of study. Students gain an in-depth knowledge of mathematical analysis, linear algebra in courses of three levels of difficulty: A, B, or C called Mathematics. They also acquire the basics of computer literacy. Further courses comprise: ordinary and partial differential equations, numerical methods, theory of probability and mathematical statistics.

Science and Research

The Department of Mathematics comprises four research teams (groups)

• GAMS - Group of Applied Mathematics and Stochastics is involved in studies of physical, biological, and social systems; methods in mathematical statistics; mathematical calculus and analysis; and theory of probability. They are especially concerned with statistical analysis of data, formulation of theoretical transport models and searching for relevant analytical solutions, mathematical methods in defectoscopy, probabilistic estimates of small social groups, study of the phenomenon known as Φ-divergence, mathematical models of pedestrian movement, panic models, and others.
• MAFIA - Group of Methods of Algebra and Functional Analysis in Applications is involved in mathematical physics research. It is focused mainly on problems of interest in terms of both mathematics and physics. The main research topics are: Lie and Hopf algebras, Hilbert space operators, integratable systems, solvable models of quantum physics, time-dependent quantum systems and perturbative methods in both classical and quantum mechanics.
• MMG - Mathematical Modelling Group is concerned with mathematical modelling and simulations of complex phenomena in high-tech design, protection of the environment, and computer science. The group divides the responsibility between research and development and training young experts in mathematical engineering, is also successful in cooperating with prestigious universities and institutions and industrial companies worldwide.
• TIGR - Activities of the Theoretical Informatics Group are devoted to current issues of discrete mathematics and applications to informatics and physics, such as non-standard representation of real numbers, combinatorics of words, and aperiodic tiling of space. Currently, the main focus is on combinatorial, algebraic and numeral theoretical numeral tasks with applications in theoretical informatics.
