Annotation

Major "Economic mathematics" is of professional field 4.5 Mathematics. Education in a degree "Master" has a regular form lasts one year (two semesters).

General characteristics of the program: The students completed this major fild of study have specialized knowledge and skills in modern applications of mathematics and mathematical modeling. By incorporating Informatics disciplines, ensure students' knowledge in the field of information systems in the economy. Part of the courses are optional, which allows students to prepare more thoroughly in their desired field of theory and applications of mathematics, and to attend additional courses in mathematics, informatics, economics, insurance and other. The training ends with a state exam or thesis defense, which will allow them to individually solve relevant to mathematics and its application tasks.

Requirements to preparation of students completing this major field of study

Students completed MSc degree in Economic Mathematics have to possess following knowledge, skills and competences:

  • Skills to create a mathematical model of a situation to prove mathematical statements and to solve problems with theoretical or applied nature;
  • Ability to abstraction, logical development of formal mathematical theories and establishing links between them;
  • Ability for mathematical modeling of real world phenomena and describe through mathematical apparatus of the studied processes and phenomena;
  • Ability to deal with new tasks from different areas of knowledge;
  • Ability to understand problems and derive the general regularities in them;
  • Ability to formulate complex problems of optimization, decision making and to interpret the obtained solutions in terms of the context of the problem to be solved;
  • Ability to make mathematical arguments and conclusions from them clear, precise and accurate mathematical language, in oral and written form to those for whom it is intended decision of the mathematical problem;
  • Knowledge of the process of learning and teaching of mathematics in different levels of training.

Career opportunities: The students completed this Master's program are prepared to apply mathematical formalism and use new technologies in different application areas - banks, insurance companies, the economy and trade, scientific research teams. Graduates of the Master's program "Economic Mathematics" have the opportunity to continuing education at PhD degree. They can work as teachers and researchers in universities and research institutes.
