The Numerical Analysis Laboratory (LAN) was established in the 1980s within the Department of Mathematics, under the leadership of the Chair of Numerical Analysis. It was officially recognized by the Ministry, which directly assigned a Research Assistant position specifically to support the Chair's activities. Since its establishment, the LAN has played a pivotal role in supporting the Applied Mathematics curriculum within the Mathematics degree program. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, LAN provided essential technical support for organizing a series of summer schools dedicated to Computational Mathematics, significantly contributing to the development and dissemination of computational skills among students and researchers.

The laboratory collaborates with various international universities and institutions, and its research has applications across multiple sectors, including finance, computational physics, and neuroscience. The Numerical Analysis Laboratory (LAN) supports the teaching activities of Computational Mathematics for undergraduate and master's degree programs in Mathematics, as well as other courses requiring the use of specialized software.

The laboratory is equipped with instrumentation suitable for supporting software development activities involving simulation and numerical analysis. The laboratory offers software development for numerical analysis applications and expert consultancy in numerical analysis and its applications.
