Profession

The areas of professional activity of the bachelor in the areas of the enlarged group “Mathematics and Mechanics” are scientific research, information and communication technologies in the areas of design, creation and testing of software, support and administration of information and communication systems and databases, management of information resources in the telecommunications network Internet. Graduates are in demand in all organizations and structures that use computer technology. They can engage in research activities, software development for the effective solution of innovative problems, modeling of various processes and calculations.

Educational Process

Students receive fundamental knowledge in mathematics, computer science and special disciplines, learn to use information technologies in finance, insurance, and investment, conduct mathematical modeling of processes and demonstrative computing experiments, and navigate modern computer mathematics algorithms. During the four years of training, students study disciplines directly related to their future professional activities, as well as a wide range of natural and social-humanitarian sciences. The program consists of a set of basic subjects to be studied on a mandatory basis, and a set of electives, determining the possible trajectory of study and a narrower professional specialization. Students are involved in solving scientific problems in:

• partial differential equations;


• mathematical modeling and computational mathematics;


• mathematical economic forecasting, risk analysis.

The graduate division is the S.M. Nikol’skii Mathematical Institute.

Practice

Research work and internship in scientific laboratories and research centers of the Mathematical Institute, which is included into the curriculum, contribute to the formation and development of professional competencies. It provides for mandatory participation of students in scientific work, the preparation and defense of interdisciplinary coursework on the topics of mandatory subjects within the professional cycle, as well as students’ participation in scientific work through the student scientific society. Master classes are annually held by leading experts and representatives of employers of real sectors of economy, Russian and foreign scientists from leading universities and research centers.

Career

Graduates can apply the acquired knowledge and skills in the field of education, science, finance and industry, in investment funds, work as an analyst-programmer, researcher, developer of mathematical models of processes, consultant in mathematical modeling, database administrator, teacher of mathematics and computer science, as well as to carry out professional activities in other areas in accordance with the acquired competencies, are able to work in an interdisciplinary team.

Mathematicians are in demand in all fields of science, in industry, in the field of information technology, in financial structures and in management. Versatile training allows them to work:

• in Russian and foreign educational institutions, research centers;


• in banking and consulting firms;


• in insurance companies;


• at industrial enterprises of various forms of ownership;


• at joint ventures and representative offices of major foreign companies.
