Science and technology play an increasingly important role in the life of society, opening up endless opportunities for its development. Mathematics has a special place among the fields of science. At the most fundamental level, mathematics lays the foundation for our understanding of the laws that govern the universe. It is also a factor that determines the technological progress in our society. The application of mathematics in computer science, the Internet, and technologies based on powerful algorithms used by computers has revolutionized society.

Afterwards Professor of the Computing Center named after A.A.Dorodnisin of the Russian Academy of Sciences Viktor Medennikov spoke on "Results of modeling a single information Internet space of scientific and educational resources", Professor of the Azerbaijan State Marine Academy Rovshan Humbataliyev on "Completeness and minimalism of generalized decreasing elementary solutions", Professor of Baku State University Rashid Aliyev "On the properties of discrete Alforce-Burling transformation”, Fikret Feyziyev, Professor of the Department of Differential Equations and Optimization, SSU, on "Some optimal control problems for single-class binary modular dynamic systems." They noted that the development of ICT in modern times is one of the important indicators of the intellectual and scientific potential of each country.
