- learn how to deal with research literature,
- Gain insight into the development of new mathematical results,
- deepen their mathematical knowledge in a specific field,
- Acquire the competence to independently work with current scientific articles from national and international journals,
- practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof techniques),
- improve their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
