Program purpose The purpose of the educational program "Applied mathematics in the digital economy" is to train applied mathematicians who have a mathematical culture of thinking and are able to contribute to addressing the challenges of the digital economy using the mathematical modeling systems. Program duration - 4 years
Program description Potential applicants can apply for the state grant.
The proposed program is innovative, since the training involves the development of fundamental mathematical systems, methods of mathematical modeling and forecasting based on innovative information technologies. The program is unique in Kazakhstan at the undergraduate level.
Students will learn how to design, research, interpret, and optimize mathematical models for solving economic problems using modern programming languages and technologies. This program is intended for the coordinated integration of disciplines in the field of economics, mathematics and programming with the goal to train graduates skilled in working with modern methods of data analysis (artificial intelligence/machine learning) in banks, investment, fintech, insurance and consulting companies.
