Undoubtedly, mathematics serves as the foundation of modern natural science, including the field of medicine.
The curricula for most study programs in the faculty include subjects such as Biophysics, Biochemistry,
Physiology, Informatics and Pharmacology, all of which rely on mathematical methods. Some examples include
modelling of physiological functions, chemical and pharmacological calculations, signal processing and virtually
all of biophysics, where mathematics is imperative. In fact, faculty nowadays completely lacks a subject where
mathematics is explicitly taught, yet (not only) these subjects require that students already possess a solid
mathematical background. Therefore, this course would cover general mathematical concepts such as equations
or mathematical functions, which would be applied in concrete forms that are familiar from other field-related
subjects (Biophysics, Biochemistry, etc).
By the end of the course, students would learn more advanced topic of calculus, which is often underestimated or
completely omitted in many European high schools. Nevertheless, it is necessary for deeper understanding of
basic natural laws, as well as more sophisticated modelling approaches in medicine.
Moreover, mathematics is arguably one of the best tools for developing systematic analytical thinking, which is
crucial for problem-solving. Medical students with a good grasp of mathematics are better equipped to analyse
complex medical problems and develop effective treatment plans.
Mathematics is also crucial for statistics, whose knowledge is essential for accurately interpreting scientific
results and making informed clinical decisions in modern evidence-based medicine. Additionally, this subject can
open doors for students, who wish to engage in scientific research, both before and after graduation. Course
would include introduction to probability and statistics from a mathematical point of view. Therefore, it would be a
great introduction for students interested in elective subject B83534 Biostatistics 1,2.

To develop systematic and analytical thinking. To strengthen mathematical skills for everyday life, to improve estimation abilities. To allow deeper understanding of complicated concepts in other theoretical subjects. To provide student with mathematical background for potential scientific research.

In the summer semester of the academic year 2024/25, the classes will be conducted in English, together with B03582. The classes will be in the form of four afternoon lectures on a weekly basis. Each lecture lasts 180 minutes. Lectures will take place on Thursdays from 3:15 PM, beginning second week of the semester (6.3) in Cori lecture hall (síň Coriových), street U Nemocnice 5. It is possible to attend the subject without enrollment in SIS, after informing the teacher. Lecture topics: Preliminary knowledge: high school mathematics. Credits are awarded for actively attending at least three lectures. Last update: Pavlovič Dean, Bc. (25.02.2025)
