Research Topics / Offer Research

The research activity of the members of the Department of Mathematics mostly focuses on the following areas:

• Diagnostics for assessment of pupils’ predispositions for solving mathematical problems (doc. PaedDr. Petr Eisenmann, CSc.)
• Characteristic classes of foliations and diffeomorphism pseudogroups, and discrete affine invariants of piecewise linear curves (doc. Yaroslav Bazaykin, DrSc.)
• Mathematical modelling of transport phenomena and porous materials, including electrodiffusion and phase-field models (doc. Yaroslav Bazaykin, DrSc.)
• Methodological improvements in data envelopment analysis and empirical quantitative research in diverse fields of economics (doc. Mgr. Ing. Martin Boďa, Ph.D.)
• General topology, topological groups and category theory (RNDr. Niko Lacko, Ph.D.)
• Ordered semigroups (RNDr. Martin Kuřil, Ph.D.)
• Phylogenetic and ontogenetic development of the concept of infinity (PhDr. Magdalena Krátká, Ph.D.)
• Heuristic strategies in mathematical problem solving (PhDr. Jiří Přibyl, Ph.D.)

The Department of Mathematics is also active in the area of contract research with focus on the methods of applied statistics for the application sphere, public administration or research organizations. The Department also organizes seminars in statistical data processing and evaluation.
