The faculty of Cybernetics (now official name is the faculty of cybernetics of Taras Shevchenko national university of Kiev) opened in Kyiv university in May 1969 (order of minister № 258 from 6-th of May 1969; order of rector of Kyiv University №104 from 19 of June 1969)
In 60-ies of XX century Kyiv became a centre of development and production computer technology, that has been created in Institute of Cybernetics NAS of Ukraine and has been serially produced at the factory of computing and control machines, special construction departments. It was begun a sharp increase of specialist - software developers, experts in numerical optimization methods, databases, information systems and their applications . System approach to organization and development of computer infrastructure activated a necessity of training. That’s why it was opened the Faculty of Cybernetics in Kyiv University – first faculty of appropriate profile in the former USSR. It absorbed specialties of computer type, Mechanics and Mathematics, economic and philological departments.
Now the faculty consist of 9 chairs: computational mathematics, complicated system’s modeling, operation research, theoretical cybernetics, theory and technology of programming, mathematical informatics, system analysis and decision making, information systems, applied statistics, where employing 102 lecturers ( 19 professors and Doctors of Science, 59 docents and Candidates of science). Research part of faculty has 4 research laboratories: computational methods in continuum mechanics, modeling and optimization, high performance data processing systems, probabilistic-statistical methodsand 3 research sectors: theoretical cybernetics, programming problems, problems of system analysiswhere employing 78 scientists ( 6 Doctors of Science, 31 Candidates of science). There are approximately 900 students and above 90 postgraduates and Doctorates who studies at the faculty.
Faculty trains specialists in such areas : applied mathematics, informatics, system analysis, program engineering. Training of faculty with international standards and based on the fundamental preparation of mathematics and informatics and also at modern data equipment. Over the years the faculty was prepared approximately 6 thousands specialists in cybernetic sphere, approximately 400 Candidates of science and 60 Doctors of Science.
