From 1975 till present time the head of department is professor Pavel Sergeevich Krasnoschekov, Full member of RAN.

The faculty of the Department performs a research in different areas of decision making. Department develops both traditional disciplines, such as game theory, optimization theory and methods , mathematical models in economic analysis, and new fields related to modeling of market economy, banking and insurance activity. From 1994 year the Department has a new specialization - actuarial mathematics. Under this specialization our students study mathematical methods for different areas of insurance, risk theory, auctions,network markets and models of economic regulation.

The Department has several programs of education: a 5-year specialist program and a 4-year Bachelor program,both for specialization "Applied mathematics and informatics" .

Graduates of the Department as well as graduates of other universities can continue their education with a 3-year PhD program or a 2-year Master program "Decision Engineering in Economics and Finance ". Applicants are required to pass several exams .

Graduates of our Department get prestigious and well-paid jobs in financial, insurance and trade companies (RUSAL, GAZPROM, RAO "UES of Russia", Garant, Ernst and Young, Anderson consulting, Ost-West Allianz, CARANA Ltd., Insurance Control Dep. of Ministry of Finance et al), study at PhD programs at well-know universities (MSU, Harvard, MIT, Cornell et al).
