Fractal Geometry
Course
The purpose of this course is to acquaint students with one beautiful consequence of dynamical systems – fractal geometry. Fractal geometry studies “complicated” subsets of geometrically “simple” spaces such as R, R², C. In deterministic fractal geometry the focus is on those subsets of a space that are generated by simple geometrical transformations of the space into itself. A fractal set generally contains infinitely many points whose organization is so complicated that it is not possible to describe the set by specifying directly where each point in it lies. In this course we study some deterministic fractals, fractals in complex plane, we learn to identify fractal dimensions and we make pictures in programming package MATHEMATICA. Tasks of the course: to get acquainted with classical and determined fractals; to find out the most important properties of fractals; to get acquainted with the fractals of the complex plane. The study course is implemented in Latvian and English.

. Already during the war, the seed of philanthropy was manifested in Žanis Lapuķis – he volunteered for the collection of donations organized by the National Assistance on 24 October 1943. He left Latvia on 12 October 1944 and departed to Gotland; his fellow refugees Elmārs and Alīde Emsiņi accompanied him and later all three settled in Hamilton, Canada. Ivars Gaide, the pastor of Christ Church in Hamilton, remembers Žanis Lapuķis as a friend of faith and song: he participated in the founding of the congregation, was an employee of the church, and also a council member; for 30 years he was a choir singer and a choir leader of Christ Church.

Global Trends (re)Shaping the Operational Context of First Responder and Internal Security Work
Course
The aim of the course is to identify and analyze the impact of global trends on the management of law enforcement, criminal justice, and emergency services (hereinafter - first responders and internal security services, FRIS) in the 21st century. In the next decade, the physical and digital environment will become increasingly inseparable, crime will become increasingly complex and transnational, and at the same time, public expectations will rapidly increase. As smart cities, governments, and internal security services develop, a huge volume of data will be available. Data analysis will affect decisions aimed at providing better services, promoting economic growth, and developing a safe and healthy society. To achieve these goals, a new way of thinking will be necessary. The rapidly progressing fields of automation and artificial intelligence will revolutionize all aspects of human life. At the same time, our job market, like all Western society, is rapidly aging, but two new
