General Information

In the fields of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics has an outstanding record with regard to teaching and research in one of the most rapidly changing areas of human knowledge. The Faculty provides the maximum number of possible entry routes into the broad applications of computers in various fields of education, science, technology, economics and management.

The famous mathematician A. N. Tikhonov (1903-1993) was the initiator of the foundation of the Faculty in 1970. Since that time many highly qualified specialists have done scientific research and arranged educational programs. Nowadays more than 250 Professors including 80 Doctors of Science, 8 Full members (academicians) and 10 Corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Science work at the Faculty.

The highly qualified staff, effective forms of students’ training and the modern level of computing facilities ensure that our graduates have a deep theoretical knowledge as well as good skills in practical applications. This makes them immediately employable.
