Not Just About Work: Vladimir Dragović on the Power of Mathematics

by Dragoljub Stevanović

Dr. Vladimir Dragović, a prominent mathematician and head of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at The University of Texas at Dallas, was recently featured in "Magazin" discussing his journey from a schoolboy with a passion for mathematics to an esteemed academic leader. His career, marked by significant achievements and global recognition, includes extensive training in Moscow, impactful lectures on differential equations, and a notable role in advancing mathematics education and research. Dragović's work, particularly his research on Mihailo Petrović Alas, has earned prestigious accolades and contributed to the global prominence of mathematics. Despite his success, he remains deeply connected to Serbia, regularly participating in conferences and supporting the mathematical community there.

Mathematical Billiards Expert Covers All the Angles — in Theory

Dr. Vladimir Dragovic, professor and head of mathematical sciences in the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, is an expert in mathematical billiards. It’s a field that has applications in physics and engineering, but Dragovic is drawn to the beauty of theory...

UTD Project Aims To Improve Equation for Math Class Placement

“Students coming to UT Dallas now have experienced a different type of education during the last two years than what incoming students experienced five years ago,” said Dr. Vladimir Dragovic, professor and head of mathematical sciences in the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. “We need to study how the process of formation and learning — particularly in math — has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

UTD Adds New Claim to Fame as Center of Actuarial Excellence

“This honor is outstanding evidence of the highest academic standards that have developed in the short lifespan of our program,” said Dr. Vladimir Dragovic, professor and department head of mathematical sciences. “This outcome reflects the hard work of the actuarial group and the flourishing atmosphere of support and mutual respect between diverse academic groups cultivated within the department. Together, mathematicians, statisticians, actuaries and data scientists built a unit without boundaries between us.”

Partnership Creates Equation for Stronger Math PhD Preparation

“We have built this joint infrastructure between two geographically distant universities with distinct student populations and resources, and we hope it will serve as a national model.”
