Department of Parallel Computational Technologies
The Department was formed in 1996 on the basis of the Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Geophysics (Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Science). There are only three departments in Russia including the NSTU Department of Parallel Computational Technologies which train specialists in the area of supercomputing.
The main idea of forming this department is to join the facilities of the SB RAS and NSTU with the purpose of raising the level of education in modern fields of research and practical work.
The staff give courses in the area of parallel computations, but the main area of activity is Master’s and Cand.Sc. (doctoral) programs in the theory of parallel computations, parallel languages and programming systems, and parallel computations technologies.
The academic staff are involved in a number of national and international projects in which graduate students participate as well, provide international grants for graduate students’ internships, organize International Conference on Parallel Computational Technologies (PaCT) on a regular basis.
Department of Applied Mathematics
The Department was set up in 1972 to train engineers in the field of applied mathematics for the Western Siberian region.
At present the department offers Bachelor’s degree in the field of applied mathematics and computer science, Master’s degrees in mathematical modeling, and qualified engineer’s degree in the field of applied mathematics (degree of engineer-mathematician).
Within the Bachelor program, the Department gives courses in general subjects: mathematical analysis (calculus), functional analysis, geometry and algebra, information science, discrete mathematics, methods, methods of programming, data structure, and algorithms. In the third and fourth years students are given courses in differential equations; equations of mathematical physics; numerical methods; probability theory; mathematical statistics; stochastic processes; programming languages and methods of translation; basics of computer graphics; methods of optimization; theory of games; and operations research. Among the major subjects taught in the fourth year are statistical methods of data analysis; mathematical methods of experimental design; finite element method; modeling and control in economy; control theory.
Department of Software Systems and Databases
The Department of Software Systems and Databases was set up in March 1993. The staff of the Department are specialists in the field of developing system and applied software, computer systems and networks, distributed databases, artificial intelligence, data processing methods, programming languages and up-to-date technologies for software systems development.
The chief aim to form the Department was to concentrate within the framework of one research team the work directed to train specialists in the following fields: general-purpose computer systems; up-to-date technologies for developing complex software systems; data and knowledge processing and storage; artificial intelligence systems; modern programming languages and systems.
The Department offers Bachelor’s degree in the field of applied mathematics and computer science, Master’s degree in programming and computer software, and Engineer’s degree in applied mathematics. Besides, the department offers training leading to Cand.Sc. (Doctoral) degree in the application of mathematical methods and modeling to scientific research.
