ITMO University Digest: # 1 Education and Science
Today we decided to collect in one digest useful links on topics related to the scientific and educational activities of the ITMO University. The collection includes scientific journals, interesting articles about scientific achievements and open training courses.
Scientific periodicals
“ Proceedings of higher educational institutions. Instrument EngineeringThe magazine takes the 4th place among 35 Russian journals on the subject of "Instrument Engineering" (established in 1958). Issued monthly. The open access contains journal numbers published up to September 2015 (volume 58, topics: control of dynamic systems, applied control problems, computer science in technical systems).

" Scientific and Technical Bulletin of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics "One of the oldest scientific and periodical publications of the country, published on the basis of a technical university, has been produced (with interruptions) since 1936. Issued 6 times a year. The journal’s open access numbers up to January-February 2015 (Volume 15 No. 1, topics: photonics and optoinformatics, optical systems and technologies, automatic control and robotics, new materials and nanotechnologies, computer systems and information technologies, technical systems and technologies, mathematical and computer modeling, IT in education)
" Nanosystems: physics, chemistry, mathematics "The journal is devoted to the fundamental problems of physics, chemistry and mathematics related to nanosystems (theoretical and experimental problems of physics and chemistry of nanosystems, key properties of nanosystems, new methods of mathematical modeling and mathematical physics). The magazine is published in English, all issues of the magazine are available to the public, including the latest (Volume 7 No. 2, April 2016).
Scientific and Technical " Optical Journal "One of the most respected journals on optical instrumentation and materials science, laser physics, physical optics, and others. (The founders of the journal are ITMO University, SI Vavilov State Optical Institute and DS Rozhdestvensky Optical Society). It has been published since 1931 and is published monthly (since 1966 it has been published by the Optical Society of America in English). The issues of the magazine from 2008 to 2014 are in the public domain.
Open database of scientific works of ITMO UniversityThe scientific work of the University ITMO, placed in the public domain on a single portal with convenient search tools. Almost 9.5 thousand articles, more than 1700 educational editions and 455 issues of journals that anyone can use (including textbooks on optical informatics, photonics, nanotechnology, etc.).
The ITMO Scientific Journals app on Google Play and the ITMO University Journals app on the AppStoreThe applications allow viewing the catalogs of scientific journals of the ITMO University and downloading articles of interest in pdf format to smartphone users.
Open courses at ITMO University
All ITMO University courses - both on the Open Education platform and on the ITMOcourses platform - are free for students and suggest assignment of certificates based on the results (each course is assessed by the corresponding number of credits that the student, if desired (and possible by the university) can present for re-calculation learning outcomes).
Courses on the Open Education Platform (courses starting in the future):
Algorithms of programming and data structuresThe course helps to gain basic knowledge of the algorithms and data structures needed for various programming tasks, and is designed to increase students' productivity in software development.
Elements of automatic control systemsThe course is dedicated to the study of the work of electromechanical automatic control systems (these include electric cars, machine tools, escalators, household electrical appliances, and much more) and what mathematical models underlie their development. Students of the course learn to analyze and create their own systems of this kind in the package mat. Scilab modeling.
Courses on the ITMOcourses platform
Recently launched (it is possible to register for the course):
Electric carsPrinciples of construction, structures, technical and operational characteristics of transformers, as well as generators and motors of direct and alternating current. The course is the main section of electrical engineering, along with the theory of linear electrical circuits and electric drive.
Elements of automatic control systemsA course similar to the corresponding course on the Open Education platform (but you can enroll in it now).
Future courses:
Information Technology: 3 courses start in this area:
Algorithms of programming and data structuresThis course corresponds to the same course on the Open Education platform.
Infocommunication ProtocolsWithin the course, the principles and technologies of building and configuring the components of information and communication networks and the protocols of their interaction are studied. Much attention is paid to practical skills in working and setting up information and communication equipment.
Functional programming: basic courseIn this course, the basics of the functional approach to programming and practical issues of programming in LISP are studied.
In the direction of Instrument Engineering and Robotics, 3 courses are also being prepared:
Linear automatic control systemsThe course involves the study of areas in which automatic control systems are applied; structures of a typical automatic control system; principles of building closed-loop control systems (including using the Scilab package).
Methods of processing navigation informationThe course allows students to learn how to extract useful information from sensors and systems, despite the interference and measurement errors. In the course of classes, students learn to solve problems of constructing efficient algorithms for processing redundant measuring information, to carry out their mathematical modeling analysis of their potential accuracy.
Models and methods of analytical mechanicsThe course is devoted to issues related to the study of the kinematic, static and dynamic characteristics of robotic and instrumentation systems, as well as the laws and equations of analytical mechanics used in the compilation of a mathematical model of motion and equilibrium of technical objects.
In the direction of Optical systems and technologies are preparing 2 courses:
Laser technologyThe course is devoted to the fundamentals and modern formats of using laser technology in all areas of human activity: from industry to medicine and from art to military science.
Physical opticsThe course is devoted to theoretical analysis and experimental demonstrations of the main phenomena associated with the emission of light and its propagation in vacuum and in material media, as well as a review of the technical applications of the main ideas of classical optics. This course can be used to prepare for the further study of the concepts of quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and micro- and nanophysics.
In the direction of Biotechnology starts the course:
RheologyThis course is devoted to the theoretical and experimental aspects of rheology and the physicomechanical properties of food materials. Students learn the basics of engineering rheology and how it is used in the calculations of equipment for food production.
