The Faculty of Physics and Mathematics began its activity as a department of the Khorezm Pedagogical Institute in the 1935-1936 academic year. In 1992, due to the reorganization of the Khorezm State Pedagogical Institute as the Urgench State University, there were changes in the structure of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics: first, the departments of the faculties were enriched in experienced specialists from central cities.
A new department "Applied Mathematics" was organized on the basis of the departments "Theory of Functions", "Computer Science and HT", "Physics" and "Algebra and Geometry", working in a new scientific and pedagogical direction.
The faculty was conducted by several professors and teachers, including in 1994-1996- Ph.D. A.B. Khasanov, in 1996-1999-Ph.D., Associate Professor O.I. Askarov, in 1999-2009 - Ph.D., Professor A.B. Khasanov, in 2009-2015 - Ph.D., Associate Professor B.I.Abdullaev and they made a great contribution to the organization of educational, scientific and scientific-methodical work at the faculty.
Since 2015, the dean of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics is professor Zh. Khuzhamov.
