DESCRIPTION

The programme provides Master's degree students with deep theoretical knowledge in the field of computational and applied mathematics, informatics. In the course of studies master degree students acquire fundamental knowledge in the field of 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 master degree students is focused on applying methods of applied mathematics and informatics to creating and researching mathematical models of economics, ecology, engineering and physics. The programme constitutes to deep learning of theory and practice of teaching mathematics, due to which master degree students acquire fundamental training for pedagogical activity.

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