Master of Science (MS) in Mathematics
Program Overview
Mathematics is one of the oldest academic subjects and is still very much alive and is growing very fast. It is considered to be very important in the learning and understanding of science subjects in particular and other subjects in general. The advent of computers and data acquisition facilities has stretched the limits of what is possible in Mathematics to all branches of human endeavor. New developments are taking place all the time; some as the result of fresh ideas or reviews of old techniques and problems from a fresh standpoint and others are prompted by the applications to new and emerging physical, biological, and social sciences, economics, computing, and so on. This has given rise to new IT-based techniques of mathematical study and has created new computational methodologies. Mathematics is one of the most mature and well-developed disciplines of the basic sciences. The study of Mathematics is not only exciting but important Mathematicians have an opportunity to make a lasting contribution to society by helping to solve problems in such diverse fields as medicine, biology, management, economics, computer sciences, physics, psychology, engineering, and social sciences.
