In 2022-2025, Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics, associate professor Maftun Ismayilov headed the faculty. Since 2025, Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics, Associate Professor Vugar Salmanov has been the head of the faculty.

Before the establishment of the faculty - in the years 1967-1971, the Nakhchivan Pedagogical Institute, a branch of the Azerbaijan Pedagogical Institute, trained specialists in the field of mathematics.

On May 30, 1988, the Chair of "Mathematics and Computing Techniques" was established at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Nakhchivan State University. Then the name of the chair was changed to "Informatics and Computing Techniques" department. Today, the chair operates under the name "Informatics". Currently, 10 professors, teachers and 2 teaching assistants work in that department. There are 3 people in the chair, 2 of them are associate professors, 6 are senior teachers, 2 are teachers, 1 is a laboratory assistant and 1 is a laboratory technician.

Nakhchivan The foundation of the "General Mathematics" chair of Nakhchivan State University was laid and began to form in 1967, that is, when the branch of ADPI began to operate. shows.

During the activity of the chair, important results were obtained by conducting important scientific research works in many fields of mathematics, and many of these results were published in highly rated scientific journals of the world. During the period of its activity, the chair of "General mathematics" had remarkable services in the training of highly qualified personnel.

Headship of the chair From May 2022, based on the decision of the scientific council of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the Nakhchivan State University, Associate Professor Hasanov Abdulla Ismayil Oglu is the head of the "General Mathematics" department.
