Welcome to the KBTU School of Applied Mathematics!
We are one of the most dynamic schools at KBTU, where rigorous mathematical foundations meet the most relevant directions in modern science and technology. Our strength is our faculty - a team that combines fundamental training with hands-on experience in research and industrial projects.
Studying at SAM, you'll gain more than theory - you'll master the tools and skills shaping the development of cutting-edge technology today: mathematical modeling, high-performance computing, optimization methods, and - yes, including - machine learning and generative AI models, which are transforming engineering, science, and business right before our eyes. Our students take part in research seminars and real research projects, and learn to make effective management decisions grounded in fundamental mathematical principles - meaning they don't just model and calculate, but also learn to lead and optimize business decisions.
We train bachelor's, master's, and PhD students under the program "Mathematical and Computer Modeling." For those who want to continue their academic path, our School operates a doctoral program and a dissertation council for defending PhD theses in this field - so you can build a full research career without ever leaving KBTU.
A key advantage of studying at SAM is flexibility: alongside your core courses, you can choose electives from other KBTU schools, shaping a well-rounded education and a versatile learning path. It's exactly this kind of specialist - with a strong mathematical foundation, the ability to work with big data and advanced AI tools, and a broad outlook - who is most in demand on the job market today: in analytics, IT consulting, finance, engineering, data science, and research.
If you want to do more than learn formulas - if you want to understand how mathematics is building the technology of the future - welcome to our School!
Sincerely,
Dean of the School of Applied Mathematics,

About the school
MISSION
Creating an environment of interaction between teachers and students in order to study mathematics at the highest level and its further application in scientific and professional activities.
THE PURPOSE OF THE FACULTY IS TO TEACH STUDENTS:
- to create a mathematical model of technical and economic problems
- to check the adequacy of the constructed mathematical model
- to solve mathematical problems
- to apply the results for forecasting
- to design computer simulations of natural-physical, chemical, biomedical and socio-economic processes using modern mathematical apparatus and high-performance computing tools.
- to develop software and computing complexes based on numerical and analytical solutions of mathematical models of dynamic processes.
In this direction, the teaching staff strives to improve the quality of the educational process by introducing modern teaching methods and techniques, updating and creating new mathematical courses that take into account the needs of the developing oil and gas industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Teachers of the School of Applied Mathematics read basic mathematical disciplines at all faculties of KBTU. The Scientific and Educational Center provides KBTU students with fundamental mathematical knowledge.
