History

A group of professors and scholars from Department of Physics and Department of Mechanics and Mathematics led by A. N. Tikhonov founded CMC in 1970. The three departments are still closely connected.

Perhaps, Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science would be a more precise name for this one. The word cybernetics historically refers to what Norbert Wiener introduced in his book Cybernetics, or Control and Communication in the Animal and Machine (1948). In the Soviet Union cybernetics was initially considered antiscientific, and was prohibited. However, in 1960s more liberal scientific views were adopted, triggering a remarkable boom in research and education. That was later reflected in the name of this department founded in 1970. Since that time the CMC name became a well-recognized brand and is unlikely to change.

The deans of the faculty:

  • A. N. Tikhonov (1970-1990)
  • D. P. Kostomarov (1991-1999)
  • E. I. Moiseev (1999-now)


The list of prominent scientists that worked in the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics includes:

  • L. S. Pontryagin, the founder and the first chair of the department of Optimal Control.
  • S. V. Yablonsky, the founder and the first chair of the department of Mathematical Cybernetics.
  • O. B. Lupanov, who was affiliated with the department of Mathematical Cybernetics and taught the undergraduate course on discrete mathematics.
  • Yu. V. Prokhorov, the chair of the department of Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics.

Staff

Faculty staff consists of more than 550 professors and research scientists. There are about 2200 students and 200 post-graduate students. Each year more than 500 students are accepted. As most departments of the MSU are, CMC is quite prestigious, number of applications can reach up to ten per place.
