Basic structure of the subjects

Subjects suitable for students of Mathematical analysis may be divided to several groups:


Mandatory subjects


Successful passing all mandatory subjects is a necessary condition for enrolling for the final exam. There are two types of mandatory courses:

  • Mandatory courses: Those are key courses on basic topics in mathematical analysis. A large part of their content is contained in the requirements for the oral part of the final exam. The list of these courses is available in the Degree Plans (it may be slightly changing in the course of time, the relevant list for a given student is the one valid at the time of beginning of his or her studies).

  • Diploma Thesis I,II,III: Three subjects, each of them should be completed by gaining the credit. The credit is awarded by the supervisor of the Master Thesis and confirms that the student really works on the thesis. The credit for the third of these subjects is awarded when the Master thesis is almost ready to submit. The number of credits gained for all three subjects is 30, which is the normal amount of credits for one semester of studies.


Elective subjects


Elective subjects are divided to groups. Student has to gain the number of credits specified by the Degree Plans from each group. In the program Mathematical Analysis there are two such groups of subjects:

  • Elective courses: They are listed in the Degree Plans. Studen should gain at least 21 credits for these courses (this applies to students whose studies began in 2020 or later). The choice of these courses is completely up to the student, it may be consulted with the supervisor of the Master thesis. Such courses are of different types and aims:

    • Courses offered directly by members of the Department of Mathematical Analysis, providing a deeper introduction into various areas of Mathematical Analysis investigated at our department. These courses often (not always) form pairs - the first part in the winter semester, the second part in the summer semester. They are taught every second year, so each Master student may pass them (either in the first year or in the second year).

    • Courses originally coming from other study programs which either show applications of mathematical analysis or have deeper connections to mathematical analysis. Some of them are taught every year, some of them every second year.

    • Courses passed on foreign universities, mainly within Erasmus, if they are equivalent to one of the courses from the list or if they are connected with mathematical analysis and are approved in advance by the coordinator of the study program. By the Degree Plans any student may gain up to 8 credits for the second type of courses. (It is a good idea to consult concrete courses in advance with the coordinator.)

    The content of the elective courses does not form a part of requirements for the final exam. Therefore their choice is influenced purely by student's interests or by the topic of the Master thesis.

  • Elective seminars: The Degree Plans contain a list of seminars, for which students should gain at least 12 credits. Students may enrole for these seminars repeatedly. Each of them is awarded by 3 kredits per semester. So, it is possible, for example, to choose one of them and enrole for it in each of the four semesters of the standard study period. There are two types of these seminars:

    • Seminars focused on students' presentations: Their content are presentations delivered by students on given topics. The presentations are based either on a monograph chosen for the given semester or on selected scientific papers.

    • Scientific seminars: Their content are mainly presentations of recent advances in the research delivered by faculty members, Ph.D. students and guests (including foreign guests).

    It it good to take part in seminars of both type. But the choice is completely up to students.
