Mathematics is studied because it is a rich and interesting discipline. It provides a set of ideas and tools that are effective in solving problems which arise in other fields as well as providing concepts useful in theoretical studies in other fields. This Mathematics programme provides an opportunity for students to enter this interesting field of mathematics. The programme emphasizes a broad education within mathematics, which includes pure and applied mathematics, statistics and operational research, and scientific computing and numerical analysis. Students in this programme are exposed to various research areas done by academic staff in the department. These include fuzzy mathematics, group theory and their applications, nonlinear waves and fluid mechanics, boundary value problems and parallel computing, operational research and statistics. Students can solve advanced mathematical problems in these research areas in their final year projects.
