The Faculty of Physics and Mathematics was established in 1996 on the basis of the departments of fundamental training on the initiative of the rector of the university, academician MZ Zgurovsky.
Physical and mathematical training, which is the basis for the formation of scientific and engineering knowledge, has always been a priority at the Kiev Polytechnic Institute from day one its existence. At different times, scientists with a world-famous name worked and headed the departments of fundamental training here: MP Kravchuk, IV Skrypnyk, AA Smirnov, VELoshkarev, YBVul, GG De-Metz, O.G. Goldman, FP Yaremchuk, SHG Gordeladze, VA Zmorovich, OS Smogorzhevsky, VA Linnyk, SD Herzriken, academician AM Samoilenko, laureate of the State Prize Prof. VV .Buldygin.
Seven departments became the base of the faculty:
