Department of Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics of the University of Aveiro was founded in 1976 immediately after the foundation of the University of Aveiro. In a university campus full of harmony, a true gallery of modern Portuguese architecture, we can envisage the building which hosts the Department of Mathematics since 1993. Designed by the architect José Prata and displaying elegant lines, this building has a glass dome, providing light into its interior. It is part of one of the most dynamic an innovating Portuguese universities and employs a team of highly experienced and qualified professors.

Aveiro

Aveiro, the city of channels, is the fifth largest city in Portugal, located in west-central Portugal at the mouth of an estuary which opens out to the rolling waters of the Atlantic Ocean, flanking the country’s eastern coast. Indeed, Aveiro has been hailed as the Venice of Portugal thanks to its lagoon and canals that criss-cross the city, which can be explored in a trip on a gondola-like boat called the “moliceiro”, while admiring the brightly pastel-coloured art nouveau houses façades that line the waterways and the pretty bridges.
