As part of the BPI, the cafe dra began work in 1981. The department was created with the aim of fundamental mathematical training of specialists in engineering specialties, as well as developing their skills in the practical application of the acquired knowledge. Initially, the department trained specialists for FITR, PSF, MTF. Currently, the staff of the department read general courses and conduct practical and laboratory classes at the PSF, MTF and STF in the following disciplines: "Mathematics", "Higher Mathematics", "Applied Mathematics", "Informatics", and also read a special course on the discipline " Destruction Mechanics. When teaching students, 5 computer classes available at the department are used.
The first head of the department was Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Vladislav Akhmedovich Ibragimov. Currently, the head of the department is Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Mikhail Aleksandrovich Knyazev.
During the existence of the department, its employees carried out a large amount of educational, research and scientific and methodological work. The department has prepared a significant number of educational and teaching aids, including electronic ones, including 15 manuals for 2011-2020. The staff of the department supervised graduate students. Teachers of the department take part in international and republican conferences and seminars. In 2005, the department organized the section "Special Problems of Mathematical Physics and Theory of Information Processing" within the framework of the annual international scientific and technical complex of the teaching staff of the BNTU. Since 2013, the section has been called Engineering Mathematics.
In recent years, the staff of the department has published 5 monographs, of which 3 are collective, 35 articles in international and republican scientific and scientific and technical journals, more than 200 reports and abstracts at conferences of various levels. The results obtained by the staff of the department are of significant theoretical and practical interest in solving various nonlinear problems, including mechanics, as well as problems of multidimensional analysis, transport theory, optics of disperse media, theories of differential and integral equations. Various particular variants of these results were used as part of the educational process in the course "Informatics" and "Higher Mathematics" in course design.
Since 2016, the department has been carrying out: GB “Development of scientific problems and methodological foundations of the theory of nonlinear problems and the creation of EUMC for the study of mathematics, applied mathematics and computer science by students of engineering specialties of technical universities; SPNI "Scientific and organizational support of the SPNI" Informatics, space and security "and the topic with the BRFFR" Modification of the band structure of thin-film germanium and the study of its optical and electrophysical properties.
The department has 14 full-time teachers. The department has the necessary personnel potential of the highest scientific qualification. Among the staff of the department there are 1 professor, 4 associate professors with the degree of candidate of sciences.
