Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Information Technology at Odessa I. I. Mechnikov National University is the largest scientific center in South Ukraine and the only one in this region for training highly qualified personnel, PhD and Doctors of Science in Physics and Mathematics, in a number of mathematical and physical specialties.
Basic courses are lectured to students by full and associate professors. Most of them are doctors in physical and mathematical sciences and represent mathematical and physical schools well-known in both Ukraine and abroad.
Specialty 104 Physics and Astronomy
Specialty Physics and Astronomy (104) prepares specialists with contemporary knowledge in physics, astronomy, electronics, and programming. Modern physics advances in the fields of nanomaterials, optics and quantum electronics, atomic nuclei, alternative energy sources, energy-saving technologies, near-Earth space, stars, and galaxies involve modern computer technologies and provide a basis for further development of scientific and technological progress. Experience in the elaboration of physical models of real world is transferred to any field in information technology - from search engines to the banking sector. In many life circumstances, a person who knows and understands physics can use his/her analytical thinking skills to find simple solutions to complex problems.
Since ancient times, starry sky has attracted a human being’s attention by its beauty and harmony. The heavenly bodies’ motion was observed to measure time and check the travel direction; or mysterious scintillation was simply admired. The beauty and harmony have remained up to now; and they have also become enriched by the beauty of mathematics and physics the man discovered in the star world. The universe is a unique physical laboratory, the richest one in energy ranges and the number of experiments. It makes possible studies of the matter under extreme conditions, including those unreachable in the Earth-based laboratories. Modern astronomy explores celestial objects - from the anomalies of motion of artificial satellites near the Earth to the mysterious quasars on the edge of the visible part of the universe. In modern astronomy, the motion of elementary particles is associated with the features of the largest formations of the universe - large walls comprising hundreds of thousands of galaxies, not smaller than our Milky Way.
It is a distinctive feature of modern astronomy to deal with large volumes of scientific information in digital formats. Astronomers work with databases and use up-to-date software products to process astronomical observations and model space objects. The modern specialist in astronomy should be well-oriented in the modern information world, correctly pose and solve scientific and applied problems in any field, and be capable to apply information technology together with physical methods to solve various scientific, production and technical problems.
