01.04.02 Applied mathematics and information science

The program combines instruction in fundamental mathematical training with training in computer modeling, algorithm development and programming. A strong infrastructure of training and research laboratories permits formulating and solving complex research problems and efficiently incorporates research work in the educational process. Students are expected to develop their potential by doing independent research (“pre-graduate program”) and undergoing extensive practical training.
Level of education:
Master’s degree
Form of training:
Full-time (daytime)
Venue of training:
Moscow
Entrance exams:
— Higher mathematics
Programs, specializations:
Mathematical modeling
The training program includes mathematical simulation of complex dynamic objects of the technological, biotechnological and socio-economic world. Cooperation with the Institute’s strategic partners (enterprises and research organizations) enables our alumni to integrate quickly and effectively in their employer’s business or line of activity.
Good mathematical training combined with skills in computer modeling, algorithm building and programming permits our alumni:
- to independently solve the problems at hand in the analytical departments of various companies
- to develop and set tasks of applied nature for programmers
- to formulate and resolve new tasks emerging in the operation of sophisticated information technology
- to be engaged in development of applied software
- to create DBMS for various purposes
- to participate in the development of integrated information and mathematical software systems for various fields of activity
