Education objectives

MSc in Mathematics and Applications aims to provide a solid scientific background, allowing the creation of excellent professionals, capable of

approaching the frontiers of scientific research in Applied Mathematics, with a high level of interdisciplinarity;
apply the latest mathematical techniques to solve practical problems, from companies or scientific laboratories.

on issues related to the following areas of specialization in Applied Mathematics: Actuarial, Statistics and Operational Research; Algebra, Logic and Computation, Numerical Analysis and Differential Equations.

Actuarial, Statistics and Operational Research. This area is a very old reference in the Department of Mathematics, FCT / UNL and has been, over the years, much sought, not only for its scientific interest, but also by the request of the labor market.

Algebra, Logic and Computation. This area, in addition to its current scientific relevance, is strongly linked to the development of Informatics and Computing.

Numerical Analysis and Differential Equations. This area is closely linked to the Physics and Engineering, presents, in addition to scientific research, career opportunities in laboratories where it is necessary to model and numerically solve various problems such as water pollution control, optimization of structures or mathematical treatment of sound or image.
