Third Mission

The Third Mission is the set of activities with which Universities interact directly with society, alongside the missions of teaching and research.

The activities promoted by the Department of Mathematics and Applications aim to make Mathematics accessible to students, high school teachers and the general public, also through its history and foundations. This is done through a series of activities including Conferences, Workshops, Summer School, the seminar series Please Don't Delete: Math Dialogues, the day of competitions, applications and research for high school students Math Beyond the Desks and the Math Olympics preparation course.

The Department also hosts the MateMatita Centre whose mission is the Communication of Mathematics and Informal Learning, Teacher Training, and New Technologies for the Teaching of Mathematics. More information at the following link

Dip Mat 3

The Department of Mathematics and Applications was born in January 1999 with the aim of promoting and coordinating research in the mathematical disciplines and to provide for the carrying out of teaching activities in the mathematical field within university courses and higher education.

The Director is Professor Gianmario Tessitore.

The Department organises an annual programme of scientific activities in the top areas of mathematical research. The Department's research is organised in various disciplines of the mathematical area: Combinatorial and Homological Algebra, Harmonic and Geometric Analysis, Nonlinear Analysis, Numerical Analysis, Mathematics Application, Didactics and Communication of Mathematics, Mathematical Physics, Geometry, Mathematical Methods of Economics and Actuarial and Financial Sciences, Probability and Statistics. The corresponding research groups actively participate in national and international scientific life and maintain a dense network of scientific relations with Italian and foreign researchers, groups, centres of excellence and research institutions. The Department's scientific production has been recognised by the international scientific community and its results have been published in the most prestigious scientific journals in the field.

The Department is the seat of the three-year PhD programme in Pure and Applied Mathematics in consortium with the University of Pavia, which provides students with a high level of skills and professionalism and initiates them into research in all top sectors of mathematics.

The Department is the seat of a section of the National Institute of High Mathematics (INdAM), whose primary aim is to promote research activities and higher mathematical education, while guaranteeing a high level of scientific quality.

The Department is also home to the MateMatita Research Centre, for studies on communication and informal learning of mathematics.

Our Cultural and Strategic Vision

The Department of Mathematics and Applications at the University of Milano-Bicocca is dedicated to advancing research in mathematics and its applications, educating high-calibre students, and enhancing the role of mathematics in society.

We aim to be a leading centre for mathematical research, driving knowledge advancement and technological innovation in collaboration with both national and international scientific communities. Our mission includes training competent students who can effectively transmit mathematical knowledge and organizing initiatives to engage the public in exploring mathematics and its connections to other fields of knowledge.

We promote an interdisciplinary environment for research and teaching, where experts from various fields collaborate to address scientific challenges and provide comprehensive training. Our research spans a wide range of topics, from traditional areas to the cutting-edge frontiers of mathematics, organized into the following areas:

  • Combinatorial and Homological Algebra
  • Geometry
  • Harmonic and Geometric Analysis
  • Non-Linear Analysis
  • Probability
  • Mathematical Physics
  • Numerical Analysis
  • Mathematical Methods of Economics

We are committed to promoting equal opportunities, ensuring that everyone has equal conditions for participation in academic life, personal growth, and acquisition of skills necessary for inclusion in economic, political, and social life, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or disability.

To foster scientific excellence, we encourage our members to participate in competitive funding opportunities and promote scientific collaboration and communication initiatives. We emphasize support for junior staff and researchers with temporary contracts, allocating dedicated funds to assist them.

Our educational offerings include a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and a Master's degree in Mathematics, providing students with a robust theoretical and technical foundation, and preparing them for careers in academia, education, industry, technology, and finance. Additionally, in collaboration with the University of Pavia, the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, and INDAM, we offer a Doctorate Consortium in Mathematics, stimulating the interest and participation of national and international students and researchers through co-tutorship theses and collaborative projects.

The Department of Mathematics and Applications at the University of Milano-Bicocca is committed to contributing to scientific and technological progress, educating future generations, and disseminating mathematical knowledge.
