The department was found in 1950 (Department of Function Theory). N.I. Akhiezer, a corresponding member of Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, was one of the founders and the first head. Other former heads of the department are Professor B.Ya. Levin (1955 - 1963) and Professor I.V. Ostrovskii (1963 - 1986). In 1986 Department of Function Theory merged with Department of Algebra and Mathematical Logic and obtained its present name. The latter department was found in 1933 as Department of Algebra and Number Theory. Its first head was Professor A.K. Sushkevich. After the merging the heads of the rearranged department were Professor Yu.I. Lubich (1986 - 1989) and Professor I.V. Ostrovskii (1990 - 1994). Since 1994 the department is headed by Professor S.Yu.
