Chair of Mathematics and its Teaching Methods
The Chair of Mathematics and its Teaching Methods was reorganized in 2016 as a result of the merger of the Chair of Mathematics Teaching Methods, Chair of Higher Algebra and Geometry, Chair of Mathematical Analysis and Functions.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The staff of the Chair includes nine Doctors of Science, one academician, nine professors, ten Candidates of Science and ten associate professors. Ten theses have been defended in the Chair in the last ten years. Today, the Chair has three applicants and one PhD student.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
More than 1000 scientific works and articles authored by the current staff members have been published in local and international journals, peer-reviewed journals.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The chair has also published math textbooks for elementary schools, algebra textbooks for primary schools, textbooks of geometry and higher algebra for high schools, monographs, methodological manuals and handbooks for teachers, a number of textbooks for universities, etc. The Chair also organizes seminars on Mathematics Education. From 2013 to 2018, the Chair organized six international conferences (“Mathematics Education 1-6”) which brought together specialists from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Slovenia and Ukraine. The materials of all the conferences were published in separate collections.

Employees of the Chair attended numerous scientific conferences in Armenia, Russia, Ukraine and Austria. The lectures of the Chair also participated and delivered reports in the International Congress on Mathematical Education. The Chair is actively involved in TEMPUS և ERASMUS+ projects funded by the European Union.
The main scientific directions of the Chair are:
✔ Values and their formation in mathematics education;
✔ The problem of improving the effectiveness of mathematics teaching in primary and high schools;
✔ Math teaching methods: innovative methods: collective teaching method;
✔ Integro-differential equation: Factorization;
✔ Boolean algebra and De Morgan functions: Theory of Quasigroups;
✔ Spectral analysis of differential equations of the membrane theory;
✔ Mechanics of deformable solid body, seismology, spectral analysis;
✔ Use of wave theory methods in transforming economic systems.
