DESCRIPTION

The programme provides Bachelor’s degree students with deep theoretical knowledge in the field of mathematics, computational and applied mathematics, informatics. In the course of studies bachelor’s degree students acquire fundamental knowledge in the field of pure mathematics, computational mathematics, applied mathematics, informatics, as well as their application in creating and researching mathematical models of economics, ecology, engineering and physics. Practical and research activity of bachelor’s degree students is focused on developing computational algorithms, solving new classes of mathematical problems, as well as on solving problems of economics and their software implementation.

Forms of in-class activity: lectures, laboratory classes, seminars, review sessions, and students’ individual work.
