01.03.02 Applied mathematics and information science

Students acquire knowledge and skills in mathematical modeling and programming enabling them, upon graduation, to work in the cutting-edge fields of science and engineering. The capacity to do research on a wide spectrum of objects, ranging from living nature to sophisticated land-based, underwater, aerial or space-based technological hardware systems, is a guarantee of employment. Fundamental mathematical training and the ability to work in various programming environments permit the students to continue their education in various master’s programs.

Level of education:

Bachelor's degree

Form of training:

Full-time (daytime)

Venue of training:

Moscow

Entrance exams:

— Mathematics (major)
— Russian language
— Information science and ICT

Programs, specializations:

Mathematical modeling and computational mathematics

Mathematical modeling and computational mathematics are essential to multi-criteria data processing and management in the context of complex dynamic systems, whether biological, economic or technological. A digital economy as a whole rests on the creation of services which are impossible to implement without the use of rigorous mathematical process models or the techniques of computational mathematics.
A programmer in mathematical modeling and computational mathematics, who can apply smart information processing and optimization techniques and is able to work with various operating systems, will be among the most in-demand specialists on the labor market.
