Diagnosis of the higher education system in the federal district on the basis of modern mathematical methods
The aim of the study is to create the models and methods of diagnosis of higher education system in the Federal district. It is known that, on the one hand, the system of higher education in the Federal district - the totality of higher education institutions, on the other hand, the educational mega-environment, which gives for the applicants and students a wider range of opportunities, than a separate higher education institution. For the authors of this article it is obvious that the set theory is a mathematical basis for creating models of the network of higher education institutions in the Federal district, the qualimetry approach is a methodological basis for diagnosing the level of development of higher education in the Federal district. The criteria proposed by the authors reflect the competitiveness of the higher education system in the Federal district, and their application will provide accurate results and comparison of the level of development of higher education in the Federal districts. In determining the criteria, the authors of this article took into account the current trends in the development of higher education (primarily Informatization).
