Founded in 1934, Kazakhstan's first physical-mathematical faculty of Kazakh State University became the cradle of education and one of the national centers of education and science. The faculty has overcome all the trials and remains one of the leading centers for research and training in mathematics, mechanics and information technology in the country. Achievements of the faculty today became possible thanks to the enthusiasm and creativity of several generations of scientists who worked and are working today at the faculty.
A team of mechanics and mathematics faculty has huge plans to improve the learning process and further improve the efficiency of scientific research in accordance with the requirements of the time. The faculty has the potential to successfully implement our plans. We believe that the first Mechanics and Mathematics Department in Kazakhstan will hold high the banner of its leadership and forever remain the first at the frontiers of science and education - in the hearts of students, alumni, faculty and staff.
Students receive a fundamental education and are immersed in research in their chosen areas of modern mathematics, mechanics and mathematical modeling. It is known that graduates of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of the KazNU have long been listed on the labor market in our country and have fundamental knowledge that allows them to master new skills and abilities in a timely and qualitative manner, but the reality is that we also need to keep up with the times and further improve our learning faculty.
We are always glad to see at our faculty motivated, active and ambitious young people, who are aimed at getting a better education, open to new knowledge and full dialogue. We believe that the scientific and practical achievements of the faculty will find their actual implementation in you, our future students, and excellent career prospects will be open to the graduates of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.
