Applied Mathematics and Informatics

If in the program in Mathematics and Computer Science students study different programs and tools to operate them, then what is important in the program in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science is the subject area. Let’s discuss a simple example. If an applicant likes to write computer programs in a certain software development environment, it will be easy for him/her to find what to do in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science program. However, if an applicant wants to create a new software development environment, the program in Mathematics and Computer Science will suit him/her more.
In the program in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science the students are engaged in the following activities: 

•  the development of efficient computational algorithms in various areas of mathematics;
•  the use of high performance computing in solving the problems that require processing of large amounts of data (effective implementation of computational algorithms, the creation of distributed information systems, for example, satellite data processing);
•  computational methods for large-scale problems (computational aerodynamics, modeling of physical fields, particle transfer in the continuum, etc.);
•  mathematical methods of information processing and their application in decision making and management tasks (digital signal processing, including video and audio, image recognition, management systems, for example, navigation positioning data processing GPS / GLONASS;
•  the use of probabilistic and statistical methods for solving scientific and technical problems (Monte-Carlo methods in modeling physical and chemical processes, discrete-stochastic methods of numerical analysis);
•  mathematical economics (analysis of financial markets, banking and insurance assessment of risks, optimal economic management of enterprises and industries);
•  modeling of natural and man-made disasters (earthquakes, tsunamis, mathematical models in ecology);
•  software development for hardware and software management systems (on-board computers, process and plant management).
