Mathematics
Faculty of Mathematics
Level:
master academic studies
Upon end of the studies student will receive a title:
Master
This program lasts two semesters and covers 60 ECTS.
The program consists of compulsory and elective courses specific for a certain module: Theoretical Mathematics and Applications; Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science; Computer Science and Informatics; Statistics, Actuarial and Financial Mathematics; Applied Mathematics.
There is a number of active teaching classes, more than 20 hours per week, planned for these one-semester compulsory and elective courses.
The number of active teaching lessons led by teachers, theoretical exercises, research and practicum led by associates and the number of ECTS define each course. Study program provides practice in almost all cases. Each course is determined by the way of teaching as well as by the way of continuous evaluation. Due to the complexity of content and distribution of various forms of teaching and in order to overcome the anticipated content, 1ESPB = 12 hours of student’s work is the basis for calculating the number of points in each course and the total number of points in an academic program.
Goals of study program
• To acquire knowledge in mathematics and applied mathematics, especially from the content relevant to the selected module. Each curriculum determines the type and quality of knowledge and in the development of each curriculum we have complied complex criteria that take into account the logical connection between the contents, the mathematical tradition, our and foreign universities’ experience, the existing teaching staff and social needs.
• To gain skills such as: solving the tasks that deepen their knowledge, applying knowledge in new situations, perform and carry out various tasks on computers, training of students in elementary and secondary schools, statistical data processing, mathematical modeling and working in financial institutions and industry.
• To improve general education and to adopt general cultural skills relevant for the profession, such as the ability to use literature and collecting information over the Internet, data processing, drafting texts and modern electronic presentations on mother tongue or foreign language and in the logical connection and linguistically correct way to represent scientific or professional activities.
• To develop curiosity and logical, analytical and synthetic, inductive-deductive and abstract thinking that is very important in mathematics.
• To develop general and professional skills.
• To build professional and ethical attitudes and develop critical thinking.
• To prepare for further education at higher levels of study and education throughout life for inclusion in the scientific-research work in scientific institutions, educational and development institutions, as well as in other industries.
Outcome of study program
Mastering the curriculum of this academic program student obtains the following general and specific skills:
• governs concepts and principles of the fields of mathematics and related disciplines - computer science, statistics, celestial mechanics etc. that the program covers,
• can make the optimal choice of literature for solving specific problems, to obtain a solution to process and report results using the computer and apply their knowledge in practice,
• knows how to teach mathematics in primary and secondary schools in accordance with the regulations,
• knows how to think critically about phenomena related to their profession, critically examines and analyzes the facts, assembles the results that occur in an understandable manner using modern forms of processing and presenting results,
• knows how to present the results to domestic as well as to international public in an understandable way and to spread knowledge to others,
• knows how to respect the ethical principles of the profession,
• to be capable for further research.
