Description: 
Since its founding in 1920, the Central-Asian State University has 
been the focal point of higher education in Uzbekistan. In 1960-1961, the 
student enrollment reached about 6,200. In 1960, the Uzbek government 
decided to expand facilities at the University to include laboratories for 
the study of polymer chemistry, filtration, semiconductors, sedimentary 
formations, electroluminescence, and computing techniques. Several new 
buildings will be constructed, and the University will have an astronomical 
observatory and a botanical garden. 
Electronics is a field of current research interest at the 
University. Faculty and students have investigated problems such as 
electron emission of metal crystals, cathode sputtering, and secondary-ion 
emission from bombardment of metal surfaces. Radioisotopes have been applied 
to the study of oxide cathode processes, such as evaporation, migration, and 
diffusion. Properties of various cathode materials, such as tungsten and 
rhenium, have been investigated. 
Mathematicians at the University have studied problems such as 
mathematical theory of elasticity, topological spaces, gas dynamics, 
differential equations, application of Chaplygin’s method to integral and 
differential equations, and Markov chains. 
In chemistry, the University emphasizes polymer research, with 
current emphasis on graft polymers. Other areas of interest are organic 
sulfur compounds, cycloalkylation of aromatic compounds, acid strengths, 
and the effect of nitriding on the electrochemical behavior of steels. 
The University publishes a Trudy. Candidate's and Doctor’s 
Degrees are granted. 
The University's curricula include courses in geological surveying 
and prospecting for mineral deposits, hydrogeology and engineering geology, 
hydrology of land, soil science and agrochemistry, jurisprudence, history, 
Russian language and literature, native language and literature of peoples
