Abstract:
The article is devoted to the history of mathematical modeling at Rostov State University (RSU), now Southern Federal University (SFU). The authors have been describing it since 1950. As elsewhere in the world, its beginnings are associated with problems of mechanics. At the Rostov State University, its founders are considered to be I.I. Vorovich and N.N. Moiseev, future academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The flourishing of work on mathematical modeling is associated with the opening of a computer center at the Rostov State University (1958), and then a research institute of mechanics and applied mathematics (1971), where a simulation model of the Sea of Azov was created, for which its developers were awarded the USSR State Prize. The article examines not only the history of mathematical modeling as a scientific direction, but also the history of its formation as an academic subject at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics (now the I.I. Vorovich Institute of Mathematics, Mechanics and Computer Science of the SFU).
