School of Physics and Technology of University of Kharkiv Higher Mathematics is a successor to the Department of Theoretical Physics, which was created at the School of Physics and Mathematics of Kharkiv State University in 1933, and thus it is older than the School of Physics and Technology. Lev Landau played a crucial role in establishing the department. Here he started implementing his plans for the reorganization of training of theoretical physicists and creation of his "Course of Theoretical Physics". It was Landau who compiled the first programs for the courses on theoretical physics at the department. In 1940-1973, the department was headed by Aleksander Akhiezer, whose name is
