Undoubtedly, any activity of a museum is directed to serious work with the audience - the people of our city in the first place. The formation of interest to a museum, creation of platforms for creativity, and most important the intellectual, spiritual education – that is the mission of the museum staff and they implement it in their particular daily activities. In her speech "the System of work with gifted children in the Museum ‘National education of Simbirsk province in the 70 - 80s of the XIX century," the Museum Director of ‘National education of Simbirsk province in the 70 - 80s of the XIX century" of the museum-reserve "Homeland of the V. I. Lenin," Krasnova, E. L. acquainted the participants with a serious, science-based, systematic and, clearly, the creative workshop of the museum and the community of citizens in the system of work with gifted children. The significance of the exhibition and exposition of the work sounded in more than half of the presentations (Chaplanova M. A., Bryilyaeva T. M., Telegina I. A., Zubkova N. L., Trifonova A. S.), which once again confirms the importance of traditional museum work.

I. Lenin," Berkutova T.G., on the issue of interactivity in educational activities of the museum completed a clearly organized workshop to the appointed time, and the words "...and all we have is easily obtained" was a perfect illustration of work of young employees in the staff of the Museum-reserve.
All of the presented reports were relevant, had practical orientation - the creation of new museum expositions and improvement of existing, organization of research work of museums, introduction to the scientific revolution of the new historical sources.
For the first time in a separate section there was pointed such a research area of mathematical science as – “Mathematical methods and information technologies in local history research". Its work was intended to draw attention to the complex interdisciplinary research, to acquaint the audience with the authors, developing standard methods in the description of the humanitarian problems, to expand such studies in the future.
The workshop was attended by teachers and students of Ulyanovsk state University. They are representatives of the physical engineering faculty of high technologies (specialty of physical flow) and the faculty of Humanities and social technologies (specialty "history"). The presentations provoked a lively discussion.
The basic ideology of implication of formal, mathematical-logical methods in the Humanities, like history, was presented in a plenary report by the Doctor of physico-mathematical Sciences, Professor of Ulyanovsk state University Viktor Zhuravlev. The discussion continued in the sectional report " Economy of knowledge ", where on the example of the economic concepts there was shown the process of creation and development of mathematical models and the use of similar methods of physico-mathematical models. There was introduced a number of concepts ("number of values", "allocation of values", "equal and unequal exchange"), considered the types of distribution of property in the communist, tyrannical societies, in the intermediate variations. There was considered the exchange of values, there were allocated equal and unequal exchange. It was pointed on the special role of laws of conservation and the need for their search in modeling. By the analogy of the law of conservation of momentum there was formulated the law of conservation of values.
In his report "Acceleration of the historical process: facts and models" V. M. Zhuravlev considered a well-known fact of reducing of the time intervals between the key technical inventions (e.g., wheel), radically changing technology, management. There was tested a similar dependence for the key historical events of Russia (the baptism of Russia, the battle of Kulikovo). Contemporary events also fit the graphical image of dependance (straight line). The schedule of a monotonically decreasing function crosses the x-axis approximately in the 2020's, that indicates a global historical transition. A hypothesis is proposed to explain the acceleration by the change of the mindset of the person, awareness of his historical experience, historical reflection.
Among others there was also distinguished the report "Analysis of cognitive maps of the city of Ulyanovsk" made by the candidate of historical Sciences, Professor of Ulyanovsk state University Dmitry V. Rusin. This is one of the first works on cognitive mapping which had been applied to our city. The speaker spoke about cognitive cartography, the history of western and local research on the perception of the city, the methodology of the study. The report presents the results of a survey among students-historians, concerning the construction of cognitive (mental) maps of Ulyanovsk. There were shown the examples of Ulyanovsk cognitive maps. Appling to the survey results about the Ulyanovsk there were introduced the concept of nodes, centers, boundaries, areas, etc. There were selected the model views about inhabitant areas, transport routes. The author notes that the group of respondents was narrow (only students), that’s why the mentioning of educational institutions was excluded from the analyses. The expansion of the respondents is planned.
The report "Use of geographic information systems in the historical study of local lore" of the candidate of physical-mathematical Sciences, Professor of Ulyanovsk state University V. V. Samoilov dealt with the geographic information system of the company OJSC NPK “REKOD" (results of space activities), Moscow, and with the activities of the space services Center of Ulyanovsk state University. Geoportal USU ulsu.rekod.ru is available. Center staff teaches students, graduates, teachers (physics, ecologists, historians) to create a thematic map layers and their use in scientific and educational activities. There was presented a thematic map "Educational institutions of Simbirsk".
Such a map has been created for illustrative purposes and for the report of V.V Samoilov "Modeling of military actions during the siege of Simbirsk in 1670 by Stepan Razin". The report continues a program of joint study of the historical building of the city and the pages of military history of 1670. There have been collected textual mention of the geography and geometry of the Kremlin fortress, suburb, defense line. Comprehensively there are examined the plans of the town, mentionings of the events of the siege of Simbirsk by the troops of S. Razin and F. Sheludyak, military traditions of regular troops and Cossacks. There was highlighted the map binding of sites of historical development of Simbirsk. There were considered the kinetic theoretical-probability models of lanchester type applying to the modeling of hostilities in 1670.
The students of Ulyanovsk state University Tyurina Anna Aleksandrovna and Ufarkina Natalia Vyacheslavovna presented a survey report: "Course of "Modelling of humanitarian processes". It discussed the training course, which is read on engineering and physical USU faculty and the research of students of local lore and history on the theme of the spring semester of 2011-2012 academic year. Students master the mathematical formalism suitable for describing difficultly formalised areas with a high proportion of the influence of subjective factors (probability theory and mathematical statistics, differential equations, stochastic processes). During the development of the methodology of mathematical modeling they are actively used analogies with the known physical models. In studies of 2011-2012 they were raised the issues of modeling of the Simbirsk fires 1864, recognition of historical figures on the mass or bad photos, traffic simulation with cellular automats, using of variations of scheduling when analyzing the construction of Simbirsk, Simbirsk-Belgorod defense line, Volga railway bridge, demographic studies, others.
6 reports of the 9 announced for the conference program were presented . Questions from nonpresented messages were discussed in other reports and in free communication on the sidelines. They referred to the mathematical modeling of Simbirsk fires of 1864 and work of Ulyanovsk transport (development of the tram network).
Summarizing the results in work of the section it should be noted that its work aroused great interest, especially the presentation of the candidate of historical Sciences, Professor of Ulyanovsk state University Rusin D. V. "Analysis of cognitive maps of the city Ulyanovsk”.
On the first day of the conference at the Museum "Simbirsk classical gymnasium" there took place the opening of the exhibition "Virtual Simbirsk", dedicated to the lost architectural monuments of cultic architecture. The creators of the exhibition invited the participants to fill in the questionnaires on recreating the sites shown at the exhibition.
On the second day of the conference there were presented the workshops of the Director of Samara literary-memorial Museum of M.Gorky, senior lecturer of the Department of theory and history of culture of Samara state University, expert of the grant competition of museum projects "Changing Museum in a changing world" L. M. Savchenko. High professionalism and enthusiasm of the speaker did not leave anybody indifferent.
All the reports presented at the conference will be in the near future published in the soursebook of the VII Sytinsky readings.
