Nikolay Kudryashov said that in the first 40 years MEPhI had a wonderful rule: "In the first and second years, all students, regardless of faculty, studied mathematics and physics practically according to a single program and, in essence, received a single basic education in all specialties. And after the second year, they were already distributed among specialties. As a result of this, all MEPhI graduates knew the basic sciences - mathematics and physics more or less decently. In canada telegram connection with the expansion of the profile of specialties at the university, this is no longer the case. I think that this is not the case in other universities either. I believe that leading technical universities should meet the queen of sciences - mathematics - halfway and create faculties or centers of mathematics and its applications or, perhaps, institutes of mathematics and computer science."
Evgeny Vdovin believes that the range of specialties does not match what is actually required and what is taught in universities: "It is not very relevant to the current educational situation, the market and society's demands for university graduates. In this sense, any consolidation is good. It allows us to at least begin to maneuver in professions and make the institute's graduates in demand."
Associate Professor of the Department of Applied Informatics and Information Security at the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics Natalia Seredenko believes that the applied IT specialties that exist today are relevant for a limited time, while the vision that the specialty "Applied Mathematics" lays down will be relevant in 20 and 50 years: "I graduated from this specialty myself and remember the high-level mathematical entities that were laid down in the foundation, and I understand that the material that I learned then allows me to understand almost any applied field. Accordingly, the basic education for an IT specialty should be mathematical."
