The Head of the Department - Prof. Ermakov Sergei M.

Statistical Simulation is a new scientific direction. Sough statistical models were widely used already in the 19th century, they were still a part of the probability theory. The statistical modelling has obtained independent meaning in 50th of the previous century, when the first fast computers were appearing.

The Department was opened under assistance of academicians Yu.V. Linnik and G.I. Marchuk, who prized perspectives of this new research direction.
Indeed, together with important applications, the statistical modelling has many connections, apart from probability theory and mathematical statistics, with such mathematical disciplines as computational mathematics, theory of numbers, mathematical physics, theoretical cybernetics and many others. Here interesting theoretical problems appear, which are waiting for young talented investigators.

During 17 years more than 300 specialists graduated the Department and work successfully now in different establishments such as different research institutes or bank structures. On the Department 7 doctors and more than 50 candidates defended their thesises.

The wide spectrum of investigations advanced to form international scientific connections. During the last 5 years 3 international conferences were organized by the Department and the laboratory. In each of them 15-20 foreign scientists took part. The staff of Department and postgraduate students also often take part in foreign conferences, which shows the relevance of their scientific results. The Department has many contacts with foreign firms and banks.

We may state that graduates of the Department of statistical modelling have a good background as for the scientific work so as for the applied work in modern commercials and bank structures.
