The Continuous Mathematical Models

This 0.5 - year course is devoted to the principles of mathematical modeling in human investigation on physical, economical and social natures. It studies the examples of well known models in classical mechanics, mathematical physics, economics and theory of collective behavior.

Lecturer Professor A.A.Belolipetsky

Optimization and numerical method

Methods intending to investigate and solve operator equations and optimization problems in Hilbert spaces are delivered and discussed.
Existence problems and basic iterative computational gradient and Newtown type procedures are considered.
Finite-steps algorithms of simplex-method and conjugate gradient method for linear and quadratic programming problems in finite-dimensional spaces are described.

Lecturer Prof. M.M. Potapov

Contemporary Philosophy and Methodology of Science

We regard the science in the union of the three aspects: as the cultural enterprise, as the social institution, as the process of scientific cognition. We uncover the interrelation of science and philosophy in their historical evolution. We analyze the conflict of values related to the development of science and technology. We examine contemporary conceptions of the structure and development of science. The problem of genesis of science is also discussed. We discuss the ethical aspects of the scientific practice of a contemporary researcher.
