We encourage you to check out the commentary by Dr Rafał Witkowski from the AMU Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, on the occasion of Mathematics Day celebrated on 12 March:
Artificial intelligence and data analysis are among the most dynamically developing areas of technology today, but mathematics remains their foundation. Mathematics enables the development of models that learn from data, recognise patterns, and support decision-making across many areas of life.
One of the key mathematical challenges of our time is working with large datasets. Modern systems generate vast amounts of data, including medical records, environmental measurements, and various types of information found online. Mathematics allows us to create methods for analysing this data, but it also raises questions about the reliability of models, the interpretation of results and the proper use of algorithms.
An interesting observation in mathematics education is the growing importance of analytical and statistical skills. In mathematics, there is a shift away from memorising formulas towards developing logical thinking, problem analysis and pattern recognition skills. In practice, these are the skills that are most needed today – both in science and in many professions of the future.
