Undergraduate Degree Programmes
The School of Mathematical Sciences was established on May 29, 1974. As with the other Science Schools, the School offers the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Applied Science degrees. In addition, the School is also involved in the Bachelor of Science with Education and Bachelor of Education degrees.
The Bachelor of Science (Mathematics) and Applied Science (Mathematics) programmes were formulated in an effort to produce graduates who are well-trained in the Mathematical Sciences to meet the nation’s manpower needs. The curriculum was devised so as to provide a broad-based and rigorous mathematics education. The skills obtained at the end of the program will provide a firm foundation to enable the graduate to further advance their knowledge in the Mathematical Sciences and provide specialized and solid applied mathematical sciences education.
Programme Summary:
BACHELOR OF SCIENCES(MATHEMATICS) The Bachelor of Science (Mathematics) programme is formulated in an effort to produce graduates who are well-trained in the Mathematical Sciences to meet the nation’s workforce needs. The curriculum is devised so as to provide a broad-based and rigorous mathematics education. The skills obtained at the end of the program will provide a firm foundation for the graduates to further advance their knowledge in Mathematical Sciences. This program provides a solid foundation in the various areas of mathematics: Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Operations Research. It is suitable for those who wish to further their studies to a higher level. A student has to take the following courses: and selected elective courses in Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics or Operations Research as in the following tracks ELECTIVE COURSES (Track 3) BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCES(MATHEMATICAL MODELLING) This program is no longer offered since Academic Year 2020/2021 This goal of the program aims to produce competent Applied Mathematicians who are able to conduct research and development in industries as well as the service sector. In this program, students are given training that focuses on the applications of mathematics in the areas of science and engineering. Development of mathematical and computer modeling skills are given emphasis. Courses: BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCES(APPLIED STATISTICS) The program goal is to produce competent Statisticians who are able to conduct research and development in industries as well as in the service sector. In this program, students are given training that focuses on the application of statistics in areas such as management, medicine, finance and data analysis. Computer skills in analyzing data (for example: financial, industrial and medical data) and making appropriate decisions and conclusions in solving problems are also given emphasis. Courses: BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCES (OPERATIONS RESEARCH) This program is no longer offered since Academic Year 2021/2022 This program aims to produce competent Operations Research (or Management Mathematics) personnel who are capable of conducting research and development in both industries and service sectors. In this program, students are given training in the use of operations research techniques in areas such as logistics management, transportation, planning and banking. Problem-solving skills are given special attention and computer skills in are used analyzing data (for example, management and logistics data), and optimizing solutions are also emphasized. For more information about Operation Research: http://www.scienceofbetter.org/what/index.htm Courses: BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCES (MATHEMATICS AND ECONOMICS) The objective of this program is to produce graduates who have expertise in Mathematics and Economics and are able to apply mathematics in economics (analysis, planning, policy formulation etc.). Among the courses that will be taught are Applied Statistics, Queuing Theory, Monetary Economics, International Trade and International Economics. Courses: BSC: MATH
