Study programme Computational and Applied Mathematics

The study program is well balanced combination of mathematics and computer science. The stress is imposed on applications of mathematics. While studying different fields of mathematics (Mathematical Analysis, Numerical Methods, Statistics or Discrete Mathematics) students deepen and sharpen their logical reasoning and are encouraged and trained in creative thinking. The study of computer science leads to understanding of fundamentals of algorithms used in computational systems and modern technologies. Students are trained to approach complex assignments without fear. They gain ability to deal with realistic problems by decomposing each into smaller tasks and solving those separately. Then, they learn to synthetize these particular solutions in a proper way to obtain the solution of the original problem as a whole. Later, students will be able to design mathematical models capturing natural world about us, for instance air flow around a wing of an airplane or around a car-body. They will be able to program such models and lead a complex problem comprising systems of equations with millions or even trillions of variables to its solution with the aid of a supercomputer. Further, students learn to analyze large data sets, visualize and interpret meaningfully their analysis outcomes, and analyze reliability and validity of complex systems.
