Course content
Within the framework of the discipline the applied aspects of the application of the apparatus of mathematical analysis, analytical geometry, probability theory and mathematical statistics to solve typical problems of Earth sciences, in particular, geoinformatics. An overview of modern systems of mathematical analysis as proprietary (Matlab, Mathematica, Maple, Mathcad) and freely distributed (Python, R, Scilab, Octave, Mupad). The collection of thematic applied problems of geology, geophysics and other areas using spatial data demonstrates the tools and capabilities of modern systems of mathematical analysis, provides theoretical and practical information on formalizing the problem, building and optimizing computational algorithms, their software implementation, debugging, thematic analysis and interpretation of the obtained results.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, practical classes, consultations, independent work
Assessment methods and criteria
Evaluation organization: - modular test 1 (on vector-matrix operations in automated systems of mathematical analysis) involves an oral interview (maximum - 15 points) and control over the implementation of practical tasks (maximum - 15 points); - modular control work 2 (on statistical processing of data of geological and geophysical researches) provides control over performance of practical tasks (maximum - 10 points) and estimation of program realization of the set geological task (maximum - 20 points); - the final assessment is carried out in the form of quality control of the program implementation of the proposed examination tasks (4 tasks of 10 points each).
