Teaching and professional activities

Members of the Division participate in teaching of courses on both undergraduate and graduate study programme in Mathematics and they run courses on Department of Physics, Department of Informatics, Department of Polytechnics and on Faculties of Civil Engineering and Engineering.

For their courses, most staff members have formed corresponding e-courses on systems Merlin, thus implementing the most advanced didactic accomplishments in the educational process. Furthermore, due to the specificity of courses thought by the members of the Division (like Numerical Mathematics or Mathematical Statistics), we regularly follow trends in the IT technology so that the students can work in recent and widely accepted software packages and programming languages (like Phyton, C++ or R).

Besides activities related to research and teaching, members of the Division are involved in professional activities in the areas of Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Engineering, Mathematics Education and popularization of science.
