The Department of Higher Mathematics and Physics was established following the reorganization of the “Higher Mathematics” and “Physics, Theoretical Mechanics, and Theory of Mechanisms and Machines” departments in 2012. This was done in response to production needs, aiming to optimize the organizational structure and enhance the quality of training highly qualified specialists in the agrotechnological field.
Our department’s history traces back to the merger of two departments – “Higher Mathematics” and “Physics” – in 1932 in Melitopol, where a vocational-technical school for agricultural mechanization engineers was founded. The Departments of Higher Mathematics and Physics are the oldest in our university, as mathematics and physics form the foundation of fundamental education for professionals in any field.
The initial heads of the departments were: for Higher Mathematics – Associate Professor Kryzhanivskyi S.Ye. (1932-1959), and for Physics – Associate Professor Glazkov L.P. (1932-1948).
From October 1932 to September 1941, Kryzhanivskyi S.Ye. served as the head of the “Higher Mathematics” department, receiving recognition for outstanding contributions during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) and being awarded the medal “For Valiant Labor.” In 1953, he received the prestigious Order of Lenin for his achievements.
The first head of the Physics department was Associate Professor Glazkov V.P., who was the sole associate professor in the institute during that period.
Over the years, both the Physics and Higher Mathematics departments were led by talented educators and scientists, contributing significantly to science and the illustrious history of these departments and our university.
Higher Mathematics Department (1932-2012):
– 1932–1959: Kryzhanivskyi S.Ye.
– 1959–1970: Galetov I.P.
– 1970–1984: Pivnenko V.I.
– 1984–2001: Dvornikov V.O.
– 2002–2012: Kravets V.I.
Physics Department (1932-2002):
– 1932–1948: Glazkov V.I.
– 1948–1950: Fridberg G.O.
– 1950–1961: Gubenko G.M.
– 1961–1962: Dyomin O.O.
– 1962–1967: Antonov Ye.M., temporarily – Lykhodyed N.V.

In 2012, after the reorganization of these departments, the merged department adopted its current name – the Department of Higher Mathematics and Physics. Since then, a new chapter in the department’s history began, with Kravets V.I. becoming the head – a candidate of physical and mathematical sciences and an associate professor.
Department of Higher Mathematics and Physics:
– 2012–2013: Kravets Vasyl Ivanovych, Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Associate Professor
– 2013–2014: Velychko Ihor Georgiyovych, Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Associate Professor
– 2014–2016: Danchenko Mykola Mykolayovych, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor
– 2016–2022: Sosnytska Natalia Leonidivna, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor
– from 2022: Natalіa Domina, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor
Throughout the department’s history, there have been changes in the taught disciplines and the composition of faculty, but the focus has consistently remained on educational, scientific, and developmental activities.
