About the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics

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.

Work done within the framework of international grants

Today the faculty has established scientific and practical cooperation with foreign universities and faculty members are involved in various projects. In particular, professors and teachers of the Mathematical analysis department  B.Abdullaev, A.Atamuratov and M.Vaisova have been working on the project MRU-OT-9/2017 "Multidimensional complex analysis" in cooperation between Uzbekistan and Russian. Teachers of the department "Applied Mathematics and mathematical physics" implemented the project "Establishment of Computing Centers and Curriculum Development in the Mathematical Engineering Master program" in the framework of Erasmus +  program for 3 years. This project was successfully completed this year. In the course of the project, it was planned to develop a master's program in the specialty “Mathematical Engineering”. The project cooperates with countries (Spain, Italy, Slovenia) and research centers of EU. The total cost of the project is 636,496 euros. On the basis of this project, in 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 academic years, students were admitted to the magistracy in the specialty 5А130104 - “Mathematical Engineering”. Currently 7 undergraduates are studying in this specialty. Some graduate courses, which are taught in the MA, are conducted in English.

Teachers of the “Information Technologies” and “Applied Mathematics and mathematical physics” departments in cooperation with The National University of Uzbekistan, The Tashkent State University of the Uzbek language and literature and The Samarkand State University of Foreign Languages ​​implemented the project “CLASS - Development of the interdisciplinary master program on Computational Linguistics at the Central Asian University” 585845-EPP-1-2017-1-ES-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP in the framework of the Erasmus+ program for 2018-2021 years. The goal of this project is to collaborate with foreign countries and study their experience in developing curricula in computer linguistics, developing scientific programs, providing modern literature, building a material and technical base and training advanced specialists. The total budget of the project is 761450 euros.
