History of the Department

The Uzbekistan–Finland Pedagogical Institute of Samarkand State University was established based on Resolution No. 408 of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated June 30, 2021. Initially, the Department of Exact Sciences was formed within the Faculty of Exact-Natural Sciences and Physical Culture.

Following several structural reforms to specialize the academic fields:

  • July 2023: The Department of Exact Sciences was split into the "Mathematics and Informatics" and "Physics-Astronomy" departments.

  • September 2024: The "Mathematics and Informatics" department was further divided into the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Informatics.

To date, the faculty has authored over 50 textbooks, study guides, and manuals, along with 4 monographs. The department's primary research theme is: "Current issues of mathematics and its teaching in the educational-procedural process."
