Address of the Head of the Department, Prof. O.R. Chertov to the applicants of 2024

Colleagues, from the very beginning of your adult life, you've faced a challenging fate: COVID, war, and... the time to make a crucial decision for your future about where to enroll. It's important not to make a mistake because work will take up almost half of your life: the standard 8 hours plus 1 hour for lunch, and don't forget the time to commute to work, and then back home. Also, believe me, you won't just leave your "job" at work; it will follow you home :(

What do we want from work?

1. We want it to be within our abilities, and we want to be able to cope with it. Well, if you are already on this page, then you definitely have logical and rational thinking, you are not afraid of mathematics and you are interested in IT and programming.

 

This is exactly what the teachers of the Department of Applied Mathematics do and teach.

And indeed - it's one thing to do programming, i.e., write code specified in a technical assignment, and another to search for hidden patterns in real data using mathematics and programming. Feel the difference?! So make the right choice. The Department of Applied Mathematics loves and values its students. At the beginning of the war, we tracked down and established contact with all 369 students who were studying with us at that time. Some were in Kyiv, and some were in Kherson or Mariupol, but we found everyone, and everyone was alive and well. Hang in there; we cannot fail to win in this war! We look forward to seeing you at the Department of Applied Mathematics in the educational program "Data Science and Mathematical Modeling"!
