Branch In Brno ( Bb) |
The core research performed in this section in collaboration with several members of the Department of Evolution Differential Equations concerns qualitative properties of ordinary and functional differential equations. Such equations describing development of finite dimensional systems find important applications in biology and physics. The theoretical study of their solutions would help discovering mathematical causalities in real systems including singularities in time and space variables and in discontinuous processes which are modelled by means of the Kurzweil-Henstock integral as well as in terms of equations on time scales. Another important topics is studying methods of of optimal control of complex processes. |
Didactics Of Mathematics ( Dm) |
The continuously changing demands on knowledge of primary school pupils and on their training for the live in the society based on ever growing information exchange lay fundamental questions on education in mathematics and on teachers' professional development. This very small group represents a particular long-lasting research direction in the Institute, which has been gradually transferred to the Charles University. The members cooperate with specialized groups at universities in the Czech Republic and abroad in theoretical and practical aspects of didactics of mathematics, providing a useful linkage to primary schools. |
