The Mathematics Department aims to create, transmit and apply knowledge in the field of Mathematics. The department's objective is to clearly and realistically promote the preponderant role of Mathematics in the development of Science and in the daily lives of all of us, considering it essential to obtain solid knowledge that enhances its use in solving concrete problems, namely in the development of new technologies, whether in a business context or in support of research.
The Department of Mathematics (DM) at Iscte is integrated into the School of Technologies and Architecture (ISTA), ensuring teaching and research activities, as well as dissemination and provision of services to the community.
Inserted in one of the most dynamic and innovative universities in the country, the DM combines extensive experience in teaching Mathematics with nationally and internationally recognized scientific productivity.
The DM's teaching activity is transversal to the majority of Iscte's departments and its teaching staff teaches a varied set of curricular units in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cycle courses.
The teaching provided guarantees fundamental training in Mathematics and contact with various computational tools suitable for exploring the program contents (MatLab, Maple, Mathematica, SPSS, Stata, Eviews, among others). Approaches that allow students to develop abstraction, reasoning and critical skills, necessary for problem solving, are privileged.
Some of its members are authors of scientific-pedagogical support books in Mathematics.
DM members carry out their research activity in connection with several Portuguese and foreign research centers, participating in several projects funded by the FCT and the European Community (COST European Project). Scientific activity reflects interest in different areas of Mathematics and is developed both theoretically and with a strong application component, in various fields such as Engineering, Management, Economics, Finance, Marketing and Natural Sciences.
The involvement of DM professors in the supervision and co-supervision of master's and doctoral theses carried out at Iscte and other Universities has been relevant, as well as in participation in academic juries and in referee work in national and international magazines and conferences
