Introduction
Master in Mathematics and Applications
The Master's degree in Mathematics and Applications, in addition to the possibility of pursuing studies in doctoral programs, aims to provide the required capabilities to solve a wide range of problems in business, industrial and service institutions that require advanced data analysis or model analysis techniques, such as consultancy, software development, insurance, banking and finance, logistics, telecommunications, industrial and technological development centers, among others.The students of this master's degree have interned in recognized companies in those sectors of activity.
This Master's degree provides advanced mathematical training in one of the following areas of specialisation:
- Specialization in Statistics and Optimization provides a solid foundation in the areas of Statistics and Optimization. The training given in the field of statistics is crucial for data analysis, solving problems of actuarial science, financial and business, biotechnology and quality control in industry. The training in Optimization includes modeling and solving complex decision problems that involve interactions between human and financial resources and raw materials.
- The Specialisation in Computation and Informatics aims to deepen the mathematical concepts that underpin the functioning and use of computational systems and to develop advanced skills in informatics. Its objective is the development of adaptability in the specification and definition of efficient strategies for the resolution of a wide range of practical problems, in areas such as: Data Mining, Programming, Intelligent Systems, Graphic Visualization andCryptographic Systems.
