Studies
The Institute of Mathematics at the Helsinki University of Technology is responsible for teaching essentially all the mathematics needed in engineering. The three main objectives are the following:
- To organize and teach undergraduate courses, aiming to give students the basic mathematical knowledge needed to complete their engineering studies,
- To transfer the latest know-how in mathematics and scientific computing to the scientists in different fields of engineering
- To carry out research work within mathematics and to provide a stimulating environment for the training of young researchers.
Undergraduate courses are taught in large units, in which the specific features of each engineering department can be taken account for, and the continuous reformation of the material can be carried out in a flexible way. These courses cover essentially all fields of mathematics needed in engineering.
