The Department of Applied Mathematics (DAM) has been founded as an autonomous department within the University of Craiova, directly subordinated to the Rectorship, by the Senate’s decision from June 2001. based on art.no.56(3) from the Law of Education, to resolve two big problems :

•   organizing the mathematics teaching staff who develop didactic activities to many beneficiary faculties, with non-mathematical specialization

•  a better management of the universitary autonomy in the financial field

Through this department, a growth of the efficiency of the collaboration between mathematicians and experts from other fields that use mathematics, is foreseen. DAM offers the organizational framework in which future mathematicians can form themselves, who wish to use the mathematical instrument  in order to solve the problems raised by practice.

The beneficiary faculties are:

• Faculty of Agriculture and Horticulture

• Automation, Computers and Electronics  

• Economics and Bussiness Administration

• Electrical Engineering

•  Mechanics

•  Exact Sciences, Physics, Chimistry

• Theology, HIstory and Educational Sciences
