• Teachers conducting the course:
  • Dr Elżbieta Mrożek is an adjunct in the Department of Mathematics Didactics of the Institute of Mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics at the University of Gdańsk. She conducts scientific research concerning constructivist methods of teaching mathematics and is the author of several papers on this subject. She has also written numerous articles for teachers, which were published in the magazine “Mathematics in Schools”. Ms Mrożek often gives popular-scientific lectures for students and participates in organising various events which promote learning mathematics, such as “You won't make a career without mathematics”, “Mathematics as an important element of culture and civilisation”, “Mathematical garden”, “Pomeranian Mathematical Matches”. Additionally, she works as a teacher in one of the Tri-City schools.

• Dr Nikodem Mrożek is an adjunct in the Department of Real-Valued Functions of the Institute of Mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics. For a few years he was a co-organiser of the Mathematical League organised by the Scientific Circle of Mathematicians at the University of Gdańsk (the Mathematical League was created for students of secondary schools in the Pomeranian Province). Mr Mrożek is the author of articles addressed to teachers of mathematics, which were published in the magazine “Mathematics in Schools”.
