      • The building took a long time to build — from 1966 to 1978.
      • The building is made of two square slabs set on edge: one was meant for scientists' offices, the other for computers.
      • While it was under construction, computers shrank so much that the space set aside for them turned out to be far too big.
      • The mosaic high relief "Möbius Strip" above the entrance was made by the artists E. A. Zharenova and V. K. Vasiltsov.
      • The institute was founded in 1963 on the initiative of Academician Vasily Nemchinov, to bring mathematics and computers into economic management.
      • In the late 1980s CEMI built a significant part of the SUEARN network, one of the predecessors of the Runet.
