SP characteristics

„Mathematical and computational modelling in physics“ is an interdisciplinary study branch that connects mathematics and physics. Within core courses, students deepen their knowledge of modern parts of mathematics with emphasis on differential equations and numerical methods. Students will choose a specialization in physics, in which they will further expand their expertise and pass the corresponding part of the final state exam. Physics courses are taught by experts in physical sciences and mathematics courses are taught by specialists in mathematics. The content of this study branch is similar to “Mathematical modelling in physics and technology“ in the study program “Mathematics”. It differs however, because our students already have a deeper knowledge of physics and thus they rather broaden their mathematical horizons. In addition, they strengthen their physics skills in one chosen specialization.

Graduate profile for the public:
Graduates have a very good knowledge of mathematical analysis of partial differential equations, functional analysis, and numerical methods for both continuum modelling problems and discrete systems. They are ready to deepen their knowledge immediately by studying specialized literature. Graduates are capable of formulating questions concerning the physical essence of natural phenomena and are able to propose and choose a suitable mathematical model, analyse it mathematically, and then run numerical simulations using appropriate methods. They are competent in judging the quality of the resulting simulation, both from the point of view of the applicability of the chosen mathematical model and also in the analysis of errors emerging in its numerical solution. Graduates are familiar with specific applications of mathematical and numerical models in their selected area of modern physics. They are ready to work in interdisciplinary teams. They are capable of coming up with questions that are of interest in applications and that have a form accessible to rigorous mathematical examination. Conversely, they are also able to apply abstract mathematical results to the study of practical problems. Graduates are prepared to work on solving numerical and mathematical models of physical systems in both academic and commercial applications.
