Study programmes

The programme Computational Mathematics is devoted to the development, analysis, algorithmization, and implementation of methods for computer processing of mathematical models. It represents a transition from theoretical mathematics to practically useful results. An emphasis is placed on the creative use of information technology and production of programming applications. An integral part of the programme is the verification of employed methods. The study is a natural continuation of the bachelor's programme General Mathematics, branch Numerical Analysis and Mathematical Modelling at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University. The programme Computational Mathematics is designed in such a way that it enables to admit also students who finished a bachelor's study of Mathematics of another branch or at another university, requiring that they complete the missing knowledge.

The students will first obtain knowledge of the modern theory of partial differential equations, linear and nonlinear functional analysis, finite element method, basics of numerical software, and methods for matrix calculations. Later the students will choose elective courses, in particular according to the topic of their master’s thesis.
