Research Activities

Math-Lab is a laboratory dedicated to didactics, students' guidance, research and experimentation.
In particular, activities in the field of didactics and experimentation are developed in collaboration with the world of secondary school by promoting students' orientation, teachers' formation and experimentation of nontraditional forms of teaching.
In the spirit of "alternanza scuola lavoro" (work-linked training) which is one of the most relevant innovations of the Italian educational system (law 107/2015 the Good School "La buona scuola"), and in line with the open school principles, students of secondary school can attend didactical modules in theMath-Lab laboratory.
Students, thanks to an interactive board, will be allowed to use manipulative software such as geogebra in a more attractive way, they will be supported on Opedia platform (on-line learning) and by Teachnet didactical LAN, and will be led to reinforce their 3D visualization by digitalizing, manipulating and printing 3D objects.
Summer courses are being organized in order to promote Science, Technology, Engeneering and Matemathics (STEM learning) with respect also to the parity of genders.
The laboratory is used in the validation processes, i.e. in the proof of convergence of numerical schemes, of the various models developed in the research activities.
The main applied research is the development of robust numerical methods, which are able to simulate traffic on road networks, salt fingering phenomena, and the dynamical (discontinuous) behavior of thin elastic 1D and 2D bodies with an adhesive interaction with the environment.
