WHAT THIS STUDY PROGRAMME IS ABOUT?

We will not surprise anyone when we say that we use various smart devices or come across digital products every day, maybe we have even heard something about digital currencies. You can only be surprised by the fact that all this is related to mathematics in one way or another. The math behind today’s products isn’t terribly complicated once you get the hang of it. It is like the language of modern technology. We all know the alphabet of this language, but not all of us can create new digital products, ensure the safe and perfect operation of new systems.
If you want to change the world and be not only a user, but also a developer of new safe products, associate your activities with the management, processing and analysis of large flows of information, or maybe you are interested in the possibilities of artificial intelligence, then mathematics of modern technologies will open the door to these activities for you. Here you will find a friendly community that will be ready to help you and all the conditions to realize yourself.
