In 1962, the Rzeszów branch
of the Pedagogical University of Kraków was opened, forty teachers
of mathematics took up part-time studies. Twenty one students of
full-time mathematical programme entered the first academic year
1963/64.
In 1964, the Mathematics Unit was
created. Between 1966-81, the Unit evolved to be the Department
of Mathematics, which eventually became the Institute of Mathematics
in 1981. Currently, there are four units in the Institute.
The academic staff of the Institute
of Mathematics not only conduct scientific research, but also lecture
in teacher-development courses; they undertake committee work in
vocational specialisations concerning mathematics and computer studies.
The main areas of research:
functional equations; differential equations and inequalities; geometrical
theory of univalent functions; stochastic independence; differential
geometry; instruments for users of Petri's net and problems of blockade
in concurrent systems; usage of computers in methodology and research;
selected issues of teaching mathematics in primary and secondary
schools as well as at a tertiary level.
The Institute co-operates
internationally with: the State Pedagogical University, St.
Petersburg (Russia), and the Ivan Franko State University, Lvov
(Ukraine).
PROGRAMMES OFFERED BY THE INSTITUTE:
Full-time - a complementary MA degree course, and a vocational
BA degree course (specialisation: teaching mathematics; applying
mathematics in finance and banking)
Part-time - a complementary MA degree course (specialisation:
teaching mathematics; applying mathematics in finance and banking);
a vocational BA degree course (specialisation: teaching mathematics)
Post-graduate - a refresher course for teachers of mathematics
and computer studies.
