Education

Mathematical center in Akademgorodok conducts educational activities at all levels of education. 

As part of the development of undergraduate education, with the support of the Center, a number of pilot projects were launched from 2019 to 2021:
From 2019 to 2024, as part of the center's activities, the profiles and modules for training masters in the areas of "Mathematics", "Mathematics and Computer Science" were updated. In 2023, the profile for training masters in "Applied Machine Learning and Big Data" was developed and launched.

The Center also conducts various short-term educational and scientific intensives, educational and popular science events, including:
Every year since 2019, additional education programs for children and adults have been created and implemented:

    Goals and objectives – development of a system of additional professional education based on the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of NSU and the Mathematics Center in Akademgorodok by launching popular competitive programs.

    The target audience of the programs is teachers and lecturers of mathematics and related disciplines with higher or secondary specialized education.

    Requirements for the educational program:
    • Duration – from 1 month to 1 year. The minimum volume of the program is at least 72 academic hours, with at least half of the classes taking place in contact form;
    • The format of training is full-time or part-time;
    • The program should not duplicate existing courses at the MMF;
    • The number of students is at least 20 people, of whom at least 50% of the students must be under 39 years of age;
    • The development of programs in collaboration with the SSC of NSU, the SB RAS Institute of Mathematics and Mathematics and other SB RAS institutes, Russian universities and industrial companies is encouraged.

    Package of documents for submitting applications:
    • Program draft;
    • Review by NSU employee;
    • Review by external specialist to NSU;
    • List of potential students.
    Applications are accepted by mail to the MCA: mca@nsu.ru

    Graduates of the program will receive certificates of the established form.

    Financial support for the program:
    • 20 - 49 people – 50 000 rubles;
    • 50 - 100 people – 100 000 rubles.

    Goals and objectives – development of a system of online courses based on the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of NSU and the Mathematics Center in Akademgorodok by creating high-quality and in-demand content.

    Target audience – schoolchildren, students, teachers and lecturers of mathematics and related disciplines.

    Online course requirements:
    • The topic of the online course should correspond to one or more areas:
      • fundamental and applied mathematics;
      • computer science;
      • engineering.
    • Uniqueness and relevance. To confirm, you must provide a detailed comparative analysis of existing courses on various online platforms and clearly outline the unique features of your course;
    • High quality content. It is desirable to record the course in the NSU studio;
    • Lectures correspond to the format of the online course - they last from 5 to 20 minutes;
    • Development of the course in collaboration with the SSC of NSU, IM SB RAS and other institutes of the SB RAS, universities of the Russian Federation and industrial companies is welcome.

    Application documents:
    • Course subject plan;
    • Authors: lecturers – no more than 3 people per course; examiners – no more than 2 people per course.
    • Review by an NSU employee;
    • Review by an external specialist to NSU;
    • List of potential students and target audience of the course.
    Applications are accepted by mail to the MCA: mca@nsu.ru

    Financial support for online course development:
    1 lecture – from 2 000 to 5 000 rubles for the presenter and from 1 000 to 2 000 rubles for the examiner. The amount depends on the complexity of the implementation: visualization, graphics and other technological subtleties.

    Goals and objectives – ensuring a high level of teaching of mathematical and related disciplines in universities of the Russian Federation and partner countries through the development and delivery of individual disciplines by NSU staff in full-time (modular), distance and/or mixed formats.

    Target audience:
    • Students studying mathematical disciplines in universities of the Russian Federation and partner countries;
    • Representatives of the management of departments, centers, faculties, institutes, universities, ensuring the implementation of educational programs.

    The main requirement for project participants is readiness for business trips and / or conducting the course in an online format.

    Course requirements:
    • Compliance of the course with the Federal State Educational Standard, as well as the training program of the partner university;
    • Possibility of conducting in a modular and/or distance format;

    Application package:
    • Letter of interest from the partner university;
    • Draft working program of the discipline;
    • The program team should consist of at least 2 people. It is encouraged to involve master's and postgraduate students in teaching;
    • Review by an NSU employee;
    • Review by an external specialist to NSU. A review by a potential partner interested in conducting the course at their university is desirable.
    Applications are accepted by mail to the MCA: mca@nsu.ru

    Financial support:
    • Development and adaptation of the course – 25 000 rubles.
    • Funding for implementation – by agreement with the partner university.
