Department of "Higher Mathematics and Modeling"

The history of department begins in 1934 due to opening Mining and smelting institute there was organized department of «High Mathematics and Theoretical Mechanics».

The first head of the department was V.I. Volovik (from 1934-1935). In 1935, the department was headed by a graduate of the Tomsk Polytechnic Institute, Ermek Alimkhan. He published the first textbook in the Kazakh language, and was the first Kazakh mathematician to receive the title of Professor. However, he was not spared by the fate of many outstanding people of that time. In 1938 he was declared an “Alash-Orda” and was repressed. Over the years, the department was headed by: Associate Professor N.S. Starkov (from 1937-1941 and 1943-1952); Professor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences N.I. Akhiezer (from 1941-43); Professor S.I. Gorshin (from 1952-1962); Associate Professor O.M. Khaimuldin (from 1962-1972); Associate Professor U.K. Kalizhanov (from 1972-1979); Professor E.M. Khairullin (from 1979-2000).

In 1995 «Applied mathematics» department was opened and headed by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor A. S. Sakabekov. In 1999 the department was taken the status of the releasing department and began preparation in the specialty: «Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics».

In July, 2000 «Applied Mathematics» and «High Mathematics» departments were integrated into «Mathematics» of Natural and Humanitarian Institute after Al-Mashani.

The first head of department became Professor A.S. Sakabekov.

In 2002-2004 the department was headed by Professor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences A.B. Tungatarov, and in 2004-2016 by Professor O.S. Satybaldiev, in 2016-2019 the department was headed by Professor of Kazakh State Agrarian University, Associate Professor R.T. Keltenova.

Teachers of the department annually took part in the competition "The best teacher of the year" and win government grants of MES. The following teachers were winners: E.A. Kasymov in 2006, K.A. Khasseinov in 2005 and 2006, E.Zh. Aidos in 2006, Zh.O. Otarbayev in 2006, O.S. Satybaldiyev in 2007, E.M. Khairullin in 2009.

The department «Mathematics» was the leading organization for the defense of Candidate and Doctoral Theses in the specialty: 01.01.02 – «Differential Equations and Mathematical Physics». It prepared bachelors in the specialty: 510230 – «Applied Mathematics and Computer Science» with the qualification «System Programmer, Mathematician-Engineer», an expert in Mathematical Modeling and Forecasting.

In 2007 a new specialty 050705 «Mathematical and Computer Modeling» was opened at the department. Graduates receive an academic Bachelor’s degree in engineering and technology. In September 2008, the department opened the Master's program in the specialty: 5М070500 – «Mathematical and Computer Modeling».

March 15, 2019 «Scientific and Educational Center» of «Mathematics and Cybernetics» was created under the guidance of Professor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. N.S. Dairbekov, which became part of the Institute of Information and Telecommunication Technologies. On the same day, the department «Mathematics» became part of the «SEC MaK». The laboratories «Sigma Lab» and «Kuda Lab» have been transferred to the disposal of «SEC MaK».

In 2019-2021 «SaEC MaK» conducted weekly seminars in the following areas:

1 «Traffic flow management» is conducted under the guidance of Professor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences N.S. Dairbekov.

2 «Analysis on stratified sets» is conducted under the guidance of Professor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences O.M. Penkin.

3 «Logistics task» is conducted under the guidance of Professor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences N.S. Dairbekov.
