This is almost an obvious fact that evolving complex networks play more and more significant role not only in the everyday (socio-economical) life. The prominent example is an internet that connects a significant part of the Earth population. However, we have several other extremely important ones, for instance, trading, telecommunication, biological networks and so on, and so forth. This situation leads to both positive and negative phenomena and processes. For instance, the true eruption of innovations and knowledge/technology transfers are observed. However, also epidemies are spreading easily as well as terroristic attacks. Such a situation changes our life extremely quickly with great intensity. Due to network connections the globalisation is a crucial fact. Hence, it is necessary to present for students in a systematic way the modern approach namely, theories and models concerning different kinds of evolving complex networks. Lectures offer all these modern things to audience.

The course is devoted to mathematically rigorous introduction to classical and quantum field theory. I will discuss general principles, free theories and theories interacting with external classical perturbations. This is a class of theories that allow to understand many difficult concepts nonperturbatively.

The course is not intended to replace the standard course of quantum field theory where the formalism of interacting theories is developed perturbatively, usually using heuristic, not always fully satisfactory arguments. The course can be their complement. The theories discussed in the course illustrate various difficulties of quantum theory: the necessity of renormalization, non-implementability of the dynamics on the Hilbert space, infrared divergencies, problems related to gauge invariance.

The goal of the course is to give in-deep knowledge of MATLAB programming environment and to apply it to solve real tasks in several domains. MATLAB III is a continuation of MATLAB I. The course consists of 15 hours of computer classes with MATLAB, where students work on individual terminals.

The courses are given in groups in Polish or in English.
