Over the past 25 years, the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics at the University has trained more than 200 highly skilled specialists across various fields of mathematics and mechanics. Additionally, around 1,000 of its graduates have earned the titles of Candidate or Doctor of Sciences. A remarkable group of distinguished scientists associated with the faculty has significantly contributed to advancing critical areas of mathematics and mechanics, playing key roles in pioneering projects such as the atomic program and space exploration.

Faculty graduates are employed in a wide range of fields, including research institutes, industrial enterprises, banks, laboratories, computer centers, educational institutions, and schools. Each year, over a third of the graduates pursue postgraduate studies, continuing their research efforts toward preparing dissertations. Upon successful completion, they are awarded the degree of Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences.

The Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics (CMC) is a premier center for advanced training in Applied Mathematics, Computing Technologies, and Informatics. With a highly qualified faculty and a blend of rigorous theoretical instruction and practical expertise, our graduates are highly sought after by leading scientific institutions, industrial enterprises, commercial organizations, and other sectors.

The Institute of Applied Mathematics is a premier research institution specializing in computational mathematics, established to address complex computational problems. It operates under the Department of Mathematical Sciences of the Academy of Sciences. The institute’s core mission is to apply advanced computer technologies to tackle challenging scientific and technical issues with practical relevance. Since 2016, it has expanded its scope to include the development of mathematical and computational methods for biological research, alongside addressing specific problems in computational biology using these techniques. The Institute plays a leading role in several prominent applied mathematics projects and is recognized for its contributions both within Russia and internationally. Over time, several distinguished research organizations, including the Computing Center, the Institute of Space Research, and the Institute of Mathematical Modelling, have emerged from the Institute, establishing themselves as key scientific centers within the Academy of Sciences.
