To the 55$^\mathrm{th}$ Anniversary of the MAI Institute of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics: From Faculty No. 8 to a Leading Scientific School

Address by MAI Vice-Rector A. V. Ivanov on the 55$^\mathrm{th}$ Anniversary of the Institute of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. The Institute has earned its reputation as a bastion of intellect and a forge of talent for high-tech industries, where progress is impossible without mathematical modeling. This special journal issue is presented as a “distillation of scientific thought,” showcasing the “unbroken thread of continuity”—from classical traditions to breakthroughs in computational mechanics and data analysis. Of particular value is the combination of works by leading authorities and young scientists within its pages, which ensures the succession of knowledge and ideas. The address concludes with wishes for the Institute's continued growth and prosperity.
