History of the Institute

The history of Institute began since 1971 when the Department of Physics and Mathematics (DPM) was founded in the Bashkir Branch of the USSR Academy Of Sciences. At the same time prominent mathematicians specializing in function theory, differential equation and mathematical physics were invited to Ufa.

The first sector in new Department was Sector of Function Theory, established by Corresponding Member of USSR AS A.F. Leont'ev. In 1974 A.M. Il'in (today the RAS academician) organized the Sector of Differential Equations. In 1980 the Sector of Mathematical Physics was organized. In 1980-1984 the head of this sector was Doctor of Science N.Kh. Ibragimov, in 1984-1988 the head of this one was A.B. Shabat. A Sector of Complex analysis was established in 1985. The first head of the sector was V.V. Napalkov (today Corresponding Member of RAS, director of Institute).

A decision on founding of Institute of Mathematics with Computing Centre on the basis of mathematical subdivision of DPM was taken in 1988.
