Programme Name:
Bachelor of Science in Mathematics [B.Sc (Hons)]
Vision:
Our vision is to recognize that mathematics permeates the world around us and appreciate the usefulness, power, and beauty of mathematics.
Mission:
The mission of the Department of Mathematics is to provide an environment where students can learn and become competent users of mathematics and mathematical applications. Moreover, the department would like to contribute to the development of students as mathematical thinkers, enabling them to become lifelong learners, to continue to grow in their chosen professions, and to function as productive citizens. We will serve students, having mathematics as major or minor, students of general education and also students coming from other sectors.
To fulfill this mission, the department creates an environment where people would grow as teachers and scholars and also as the skilled persons involved in public and professional service.
Objectives:
