About the Faculty of Mathematics

The Faculty of Mathematics was opened in 2008. Since then, it has become a leading place in Russia for attracting researchers in Mathematics and mathematical students. The Faculty has Bachelors, Masters and Ph.D. programs in Mathematics. It collaborates with the Steklov Mathematical Institute, the Institute for Information Transmission Problems, and the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (world renowned research institutes). Jointly with the Independent University of Moscow, the Faculty publishes the Moscow Mathematical Journal and runs 'Math in Moscow', a “study abroad” program for North-American students.

From THE REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL ADVISORY BOARD by Pierre Deligne, Sergey Fomin, Andrey Okounkov, Tetsuji Miwa, Stanislav Smirnov (September 2013): 'The Board is very much impressed by the current state of academic affairs at the Department. Within 5 years of its creation, the HSE has become the leading Russian institution of higher learning in pure mathematics.

Affiliated with the Faculty of Mathematics are the following international research units:

·        International Laboratory of Algebraic Geometry and its Applications

(AcademicSupervisor – F.Bogomolov)

·        International Laboratory of Representation Theory and Mathematical Physics

(Academic Supervisor – A. Okounkov)

Fourteen of our faculty members and researches of the associated laboratories are invited speakers of the International Congress of Mathematicians.
