Mathematical Engineering branch - Mathematical Physics specialization, 4 years, completed with a degree Ph.D.
Head of Program: prof. Ing. Zuzana Masáková, Ph.D.
Graduates in Mathematical Physics is oriented on advanced parts of modern mathematical physics and applied mathematics. Study of this branch allows graduates to use gained knowledge to the development of theoretical physics, in natural sciences and engineering.
The course builds on fundamental knowledge of mathematics and physics. Students attain a basic knowledge of functional analysis and of mathematical physics equations, of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, of group theory, and symmetries in physics. They get acquainted with differential geometry, elementary particle theory and general theory of relativity. In regular seminars, and especially through their independent work supervised by specialists from FJFI and the Academy of Science (AV ČR), students get familiar with research work and topical problems covered by various branches of mathematical physics. They concentrate on mathematical problems of quantum theory, study abstract mathematical problems and use computers for numerical and symbolic calculations and for the simulation of physical processes. A number of dissertations are based on research projects supported by grant agencies.
