Mathematics

Overview

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Trento aims at training professional mathematicians to pursue the study of scientific and technological problems by mathematical methods, and at undertaking research in various branches of the subject.

The Department covers all main fields of Modern Mathematics, from Algebra to Geometry, Analysis, Probability and Statistics, Mathematical Physics and Numerical Analysis, and has earned an outstanding reputation for excellence in the application of fields such as: Biomedicine (e.g. modeling of the cardiovascular system), Biomathematics (e.g. vaccination strategies against pandemics), and Data Security (e.g. error-correcting codes used in critical applications such as in train signaling).

Career

Graduates of the Mathematics programme at the University of Trento are welcomed by national and international companies where they can apply their skills in mathematics and critical thinking. They usually find a job within three months and a half after graduation (Almalaurea).

According to the curriculum and activities chosen, graduates will be able to work in companies and industry, laboratories and research centers, scientific culture dissemination field, services and Public Administration. 

Flexible thinking, computational and computer science competences, familiarity with management analysis and treatment of numerical data make them excellent candidates in several fields, e.g. computer science, cryptography, finance, engineering, medical science, communication, scientific and academic research.

In particular, graduates can carry out expert work as application technicians and statistical technicians. They are also fit for the professions of statistical mathematicians and for most of the profiles in Information Technologies.
