Mathematics and Applications
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.

Evaluation rules
The following modes of evaluation are used with regard to academic qualifications:
- Evaluation based solely on an examination or completion of a final project.
- Evaluation based on work done throughout the semester excluding examination or final project. In these courses students can expect to carry out, for example, laboratory activities, mini-tests, tests, individual or group projects, seminar-related activities, any combination of which will be used to determine the final grade.
- Evaluation based obligatorily on an examination or a final project. In these courses there extists a form of evaluation similar to one of the aformentioned activities in paragraph 2 as well as a form of evaluation based on a final exam.
- Evaluation based on work done throughout the semester with the possibility of foregoing an examination or a final project.
The final Dissertation (or Project) involves a public discussion with a Jury.
