The Department of Information Technologies

The history of the department’s formation is closely linked to the development of computing hardware and advancements in information technology. The Department of Mechanized Accounting and Computing Technology was established in 1965. Since then, the department has undergone several transformations: in 1973, it became the Department of Automated Economic Data Processing; in 1974, the Department of Computers and Computer Programming; in 1987, the Department of Economic-Mathematical Methods and Programming; and in 1988, the Department of Informatics and Computing Technology. Since 1997, it has been known as the Department of Information Technology.

The first head of the department, serving from 1965 to 1987 (with a brief hiatus), was Professor Nikolai Savitsky, who made a significant contribution to the development of the theoretical foundations for automated economic information processing systems.
