Mathematics
Vision
Our vision is to power minds through excellence. The theory, discipline, and techniques taught in mathematics courses develop computational, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. We pursue excellence in all aspects of research, teaching, and mathematics communication. Mathematicians seek truth, beauty, and elegance. Therefore, the Department of Mathematics faculty strives to ensure a world-class education and research environment for future mathematicians.
Mission
The mission of the Department of Mathematics is to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning and research at the highest levels of excellence. Our wide range of courses at undergraduate and graduate levels offers outstanding training in mathematics and its links to other disciplines. Our research covers the spectrum of fundamental and applied mathematics. Courses development ensures that the student learner will be able to contribute to today’s society; and will obtain abilities to assess numerical and graphical information critically, learn to formulate strategies for solving problems, and acknowledge the importance of being intellectually curious throughout their adult lives.
