History of the department
In order to ensure the needs of the country's experts on modern information technologies the specialty of mathematical and computer modeling was approved by the order № 54-1 Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 25th December 2002, on Amending the Order № 85 dated 19th February 2001 "On approval of the classifier training areas and specialties of higher professional education of Kazakhstan". In connection with the emergence of a new specialty of Mechanics and Mathematics Department of the Kazakh National University named after al-Farabi in 2002 the Department of Computer and computer technology that oversaw this specialty was organized.
Within a short period the young department became one of the major departments of training in computer technologies. The Chair has a science lab "Mathematical and computer modeling of natural processes, where the research is being performed to solve the problems of hydrodynamics, heat - and mass transfer, chemical kinetics, combustion, etc. The laboratory is equipped with the most modern computer equipment, which allows you to study at a higher scientific level.
The purpose of the department: training of specialists in the field of mathematical and computer modeling of natural phenomena, physico-chemical and technological processes, medical and biological processes, obtaining new materials, parallel programming and high-performance computing.
