THE FAULTY OF APPLIED MATHEMATICS

AND COMPUTER SCIENCE

Academic Staff: 115 Members (90 of which are PhDs). Number of Students: over 1000.

The Faculty was established according to the Order of the of University Rector, Dr. A.N. Sevchenko. It was originally based on three departments: Computational Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Differential Equations. Professor E.A. Ivanov was the Dean of the Faculty from the date of its foundation to 1981.

Famous mathematicians of the Faculty include Dr. N.P. Erugin and Dr. V.I. Krylov. They have played a great role in the Faculty?s organisation and development.

Similar faculties were also created in other leading universities of the former Soviet Union (Moscow, Leningrad, Novosibirsk, Kiev and others) due to the national economic demands of the 1960?s and 1970?s for new specialists, (applied mathematicians in particular). Since 1993, the faculty was known as the Faculty of Applied Mathematics. The renaming of the school was connected with the introduction of new specialities and fields. The Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science works in close co-operation with the Faculty of Business and Information Technology.

Student Life

Students spend a significant amount of time in the classroom, and at by the same token; they find time for scientific research, participate in solving urgent applied problems and develop applicable software. Three scientific laboratories for students are located within the Faculty. Student scientific conferences are held annually. The students of the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science have won various international contests in computer science many times over.

Students can display their creative abilities not only in their general studies and scientific research, but also in various university and department amateur artistic groups (dance, theatre, etc.). Many generations of graduates are brought up in the spirit of good old traditions. Alumni of the Faculty recall the Mini Theatre, the Feniks cheergroup, club meetings, and the faculty newspaper Algorithm.

The University?s sporting complex, includes a stadium, pool, sauna, gymnasiums, and various sporting sections to satisfy not only amateurs, but also skilled athletes as well.

Those who prefer the smoke of a blazing campfire to the comforts of home, gather at traditional camping sites in May where cheerful faculty songs ring out over the tents.
