Role of Mathematics

• Pure programming is discrete mathematics
  (structures) and logic!
• Optimisation and Optimal Control are functional
  analysis!
• Computer Graphics is linear algebra!
• Modelling is PDE's and BVP's!
• has been, is and will be essential!

Development Strategy in practice Networking

• Summer courses for Upper Secondary School
  students (Telecommunication, Functional
  programming, Graphs and game theory, Multimedia
  in Mathematics)
• Basic studies of IT for selected schools (upper
  secondary school, adult education open
  university) available
• Development of Upper Secondary School network
  Multimedia-based study materials of mathematics
  and physics from Stanford University (Kullervo
  Nieminen)
• Virtual University of Jyväskylä
• Agora Learning Laboratory
• MaDaMe research programme

Proposition

• To increase the qualification of teachers in
  mathematics, natural sciences and computer
  science we need teacher's professional licentiate
  degree with necessary allocation of resources!
