Departamenti i Matematikës

Description of the Department

The Department of Mathematics is a core unit of the Faculty of Information Technology (FTI).

This department covers two study programs:
Bachelor in Mathematics – Computer Science
Master of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science Teaching

The mission of the Department of Mathematics is:
-To be the cornerstone of the university by offering basic and advanced mathematics to university students in all first and second cycle study programs, in order to prepare capable and qualified individuals in teaching mathematics and in various fields where mathematics is generally applied.

-To provide a mathematically rich curriculum for first and second cycle programs in mathematics and computer science, which are intellectually challenging and rigorous, so that graduates are capable of pursuing postgraduate studies or for the labor market;

-Provide appropriate mathematics syllabi for other departments of FTI and UAMD, which are designed for students seeking expertise in more than one discipline.
To provide students with academic support that will help them develop their skills in an environment where independent study and interaction with staff and their peers are encouraged.

The goal of the Department of Mathematics is to train students in:

-learning and applying critical and analytical reasoning;
-presenting logical arguments;
-reading and mathematically understanding various problems;
-developing problem-solving skills;
-solving and interpreting mathematical problems that arise from applications outside mathematics;
-using technology to solve and/or explore mathematical problems;
-collaboration on projects.

The academic staff of the Department of Mathematics consists of 15 lecturers who cover the teaching of mathematics courses in all faculties and their study programs at the “Aleksandër Moisiu” University, Durrës. This staff has the scientific qualification and the appropriate pedagogical experience to guarantee quality in teaching as well as to conduct scientific research.

The scientific qualification of the members of the Department of Mathematics has been in continuous progress, and today it consists of 4 Associate Professors, one Associate Professor, one Associate Professor, six Doctors of Science, two in the process of completing their doctorate, and one Master of Science.
In this way, this department guarantees the quality and fulfillment of academic standards for all study programs where it teaches.
