Department of mathematical methods in economics

Since 1967, the Department of Economic Cybernetics and Programming has been operating at the Belarusian State Institute of National Economy. Over more than half a century, the department underwent several renamings, reflecting its evolving focus on training specialists in mathematical modeling of economic systems and processes. It is now known as the Department of Mathematical Methods in Economics (MME).

The department has been led by prominent Belarusian and Russian scholars who have contributed to the development and application of economic and mathematical methods in applied research. Among them are N.I. Veduta, S.A. Dumler, Y.N. Zhikhar, A.A. Lapko, N.I. Kholod, and I.V. Belko. Since 2009, the department has been headed by Dr. Gigla Otarovich Chitaya, Doctor of Economic Sciences. Currently, the head of the department is Yulia Leonidovna Ratusheva, Associate Professor and Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences.

The department actively participates in the continuous training of students in economics-related fields, focusing on the application of mathematical models and information technologies for analyzing, justifying, developing, and making management decisions at various levels of economic systems. The faculty delivers lectures, practical classes, and laboratory sessions tailored to the needs of individual faculties and the specific training of future economists.

The courses offered are closely integrated with specialized disciplines from other departments, ensuring a comprehensive education. All topics include laboratory sessions where students perform numerical calculations on personal computers. Programming languages and specialized software packages are used for modeling calculations, applying methods and algorithms from operations research, econometrics, and applied statistical analysis.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

Undergraduate Education:

  1. Economic Cybernetics, specialization: Optimal Planning and Management in Economics (no admissions since 2023 due to changes in the list of specialties).
  2. Applied Mathematics, specialization: Economic Cybernetics (admissions started in 2023).

Master's Degree:

  1. Economics, specialization: Mathematical and Instrumental Methods in Economics.

The department serves as the graduating department for undergraduate programs in:

  1. Economic Cybernetics (qualification: Cyberneticist-Economist).
  2. Applied Mathematics, specialization: Economic Cybernetics (qualification: Applied Mathematician-Programmer).

Admission to the Applied Mathematics program requires strong preparation in mathematics, physics, and the native language, with one of the highest competition rates at Belarusian State Economic University (BSEU).
Graduates are well-prepared for analytical, planning, and managerial roles across various economic sectors. They are employed in enterprises, organizations, municipal and regional structures, audit firms, banks, investment and insurance companies, research institutes, and educational institutions.

The training emphasizes three core areas: mathematics, economics, and information technology. This approach equips graduates with expertise in computer modeling, economic and mathematical modeling methods, and forecasting the dynamics of economic objects and processes. The demand for specialists in this field has grown significantly in recent years. The Applied Mathematics program has a duration of 4 years for full-time students, with no correspondence option.

Research Activities. The department provides training for the second stage of higher education in the specialty Economics, specialization: Mathematical and Instrumental Methods in Economics.

The department's scientific work focuses on implementing state research programs, conducting contractual applied research with enterprises and organizations in Belarus, training scientific personnel, and developing textbooks and teaching aids that meet modern standards.

A significant area of the department's research is the preparation of highly qualified scientific personnel through postgraduate and doctoral programs in specialty 08.00.13 – Mathematical and Instrumental Methods in Economics. Leading professors participate in the Dissertation Defense Council D 02.07.02 at BSEU, the Expert Commission of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Republic of Belarus in Economic Sciences, and editorial boards of leading scientific journals in economics.
