Technomathematics can be defined as mathematics with an impact to real world covering industry, governance, environment, economy or any activity of economic and/or social value. It aims at improvement of industrial processes and is motivated by the challenges in technology, ecological issues and sustainable development. Students are trained to apply computational methods, mathematical models and advanced data tools to problems and different tasks in society. Examples include measurements, experiments and intelligent data-analysis, modelling and simulation of systems and processes, production management and process monitoring/control, financial models, risk analysis and decision support systems.

EUROPEAN MOBILITY AND DOUBLE DEGREE
MaFy belongs to a network ECMI which has agreed on the European Model Curriculum on Industrial Mathematics, oriented towards applications in real world, industry, society and environment. LUT students of Technomathematics have a possibility for student exchange in ECMI partner universities abroad.
A double degree program in mathematics has been designed between Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) and Università degli Studi di Milano (UNIMI), leading to two recognized Master’s degrees, one from the student’s home institution and one from the host institution. The students stay one year at both institutions according to an integrated curriculum and mobility plan.
More information can be found from updated Study Guide (Technomathematics only). The integrated curriculum of LUT-Milano double degree is available from the program coordinator.
