Mathematics is the base of natural sciences and together with information science it is the foundation of many fields of sciences and the main instrument in learning general regularities of world outlook. Mathematics and Informatics Department was established according to the order of the university rector # 16 of August 27, 1995. The Department consists of the chairs: Informatics, Applied Mathematics, Mathematical Analysis, Computer Systems and Networks. The main direction of the department activity is organization of the educational process of training specialists according to different forms of education and qualification standards.

Graduates of the department are able to act professionally in different economic and social conditions and are ready to cope with such tasks as mathematical and information modelling in technical, economic and social spheres; designing and elaboration of information systems and technologies; elaboration, operation and maintenance of system and applied software; designing, tuning and service of corporation and global networks and information protection in these networks; teaching mathematics and disciplines connected with informatics and computer technology.

Students ate taught by well-qualified teachers who have scientific degrees and titles and a considerable length of service in research and educational fields, who are the authors of hundreds of methodical and training aids, textbooks, monographies, author’s certificates, patents. The most experienced teachers have Microsoft and Cisco certificates.

Our students have at their disposal modern computer class-rooms, high-speed access to Internet, multimedia lecture-rooms, information resources of the department.

At the Department work research laboratories ‘Statistics’ and ‘Applied Informatics’, regional center ‘Skhidny’ (‘Eastern’) which deals with information protection, seminar of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences ‘Technical Means of Information Protection’ and the annual conference ‘Information Technologies and Safety in Operation’. There has been also created a mathematical research center for the effective usage and development of scientific, methodical, pedagogical and material and technical potential of the Mathematics and Informatics Department.

Scientific investigations in mathematics and informatics are carried out in perspective directions. There are research schools ‘Mathematical modelling of complicated technical systems: problems of synthesis and analysis’, ‘Mathematical statistics and theory of probability’, ‘Information and computer networks security’, post-graduate department, department of taking doctor’s degree for those who would like to receive the scientific degree of a candidate or doctor of sciences at the Department.
