Mathematical and computer modeling 7M06103

The duration of training in the specialty (scientific and pedagogical master's degree): 2 years

The language of instruction is English

Goals, objectives:

Training of highly qualified specialists in the field of mathematical and computer modeling. In this direction, the faculty strives to improve the quality of the educational process by introducing modern teaching methods and techniques, updating and creating new mathematical courses that take into account the needs of the growing economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The content of the educational program:

For further independent research and the defense of a master's thesis, the university has organized a master's degree in the specialty "Mathematical and Computer modeling". As part of the course, undergraduates are introduced to classical and modern approaches of mathematics such as: methods of functional analysis, mathematical models of physical processes, a more in-depth course of partial differential equations, etc. In addition, courses on high-performance computing and computer modeling are taught.

Theoretical and practical minimum of Master's degree studies:

To master the program are allowed: Specialists with an academic bachelor's degree. The applicant must be prepared for master's degree studies, as well as for research activities in the field of mathematical and computer modeling. The applicant must possess a diverse arsenal of modern research methods, including the use of specialized computer programs for various calculations. In addition, the applicant must possess the following scientific and methodological skills and abilities:

  • formulate the problem, the purpose and objectives of the study
  • choose research methods adequate to the tasks
  • conduct information-analytical and information-bibliographic work with the involvement of modern technologies
