The main aim of the module Problem Workshops is to acquaint students with chosen branches of mathematics with applications to knowledge domains such as: economics, biology, physics, chemistry, and computer science.
Additional aims are: training analytical skills (for example, constructing mathematical models of chosen problems from applied sciences), training methodological skills (for example, use of available technology to prepare a project or analysis), training cognitive skills (for example, an analysis of data or source content given in a form of articles or manuals, also in a foreign language) and training skills of team-work (for example, work in small groups during and outside the workshop).
