Overview

Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP)
All sciences tend to mathematics

The BIP “All sciences tend to mathematics” is an interdisciplinary educational project aimed at providing students with an understanding of the fundamental role of mathematics in various scientific fields. It combines theoretical and practical approaches to demonstrate how mathematics forms the foundation for research in different disciplines and how its methods can be applied to solving real-world problems.

The BIP is organized in collaboration with partners:
TTK University of Applied Sciences
Vilnius Gediminas Technical University

Program Description:
• Objective: To educate and inspire students to apply mathematical methods and tools in their chosen field of science. It offers an opportunity to understand the universality and applicability of mathematics across all sciences – from natural sciences, engineering, and economics to social sciences and biology.
• Content: Lectures and practical sessions covering a broad range of mathematical topics, such as statistics, data analysis, and differential equations. Students will engage in discussions to apply the knowledge they have acquired.
