Mathematics, B.Sc
Objectives and Perspectives
The aim of the program is to provide students with knowledge of basic elements of most important
mathematical fields, attain skills in fundamental methods of applied mathematics, useful for technical,
economical, statistical and computer modeling. The Mathematics BSc. Program provides a standard of
knowledge and competence to the students, which will give them access to second cycle course units or
degree programs.
Requirements
Duration of studies: 6 semesters
Number of teaching (contact) hours: 1,800
Number of required ECTS credits: 180
Main Subjects
During the first year the basic elements of linear algebra, algebra, number theory, combinatorics, geometry
and calculus are gained. Then deeper studies follow such as measure and integration, functions of complex
variable, differential equations, convex geometry. The last year is devoted to applicable mathematics, like
differential geometry, probability theory, statistics, numerical methods, informatics, computer algorithms in
algebra, calculus and statistics. This is supplemented with a series of elective courses.
