Mathematics, Informatics and Descriptive Geometry

Areas of scientifi c interest of the department and its staff members are C*-algebras, Hilbert C*-modules, orthonormal wavelets, curves and surfaces in euclidean and non-euclidean spaces,
constructive projective geometry, light pollution, physics of meteoroids, meteors and meteorites as well as hydrology.
Scientifi c research and activity of the department is realized through scientifi c projects funded by Ministry of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatian, although they are partly financed by other means as well. Department staff publish their works in reputable scientifi c journals and exhibit their fi ndings in numerous national and international conferences. Scientific cooperation with the staff of other institutes of the Faculty as well as other faculties of the University of Zagreb is common and takes place regularly. The department staff participates in the organization of various scientifi c meetings, and act as editors or members of editorial boards of scientific journals.
The department staff actively participates in the implementation of the Seminar of Functional Analysis, Geometry Seminar, Seminaron Differential Geometry, Seminar on Probability Theory and Seminar on Methodology at the Mathematics Department of the Faculty of Science. They also participate in the work of the International Meteor Organization (IMO), the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA), Croatian hydrological society and many others, in which present their scientifi c achievements, strengthening and furthering their the international cooperation.
Although the department does not have its own laboratory, it does dispose with a set of measuring equipment for the measurement and characterization of light pollution and one of the cameras of the Croatian Meteor Network.
