A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE Department
Mathematics Department is one of the pioneer units in the Faculty of Sciences that was established as a servicing unit at the inception of the University in 2004. The unit continued in its servicing capacity until the 2008 academic session when the full B.Sc. (Mathematics) programme took off.
PHILOSOPHY
The BSc. Mathematics programme is designed to equip the undergraduate students with the basic requirement for serving in a professional capacity in most areas of computation Mathematics as well as develop knowledge in theory of applied Mathematics. The degree programme would explore all the basic rudimentary or foundation knowledge of computing technology not known to most of students with the tools for computational techniques and thinking, as they would be exposed to the fundamentals of computing processes.
AIMS
The BSc. Mathematics programme is aimed at taking you through the fundamental of the sciences of computation and the latest technologies that make the application of Mathematical Science an all-round catalyst in the design of any new market driven technological designs and devices without the constraints of face to face teaching.
OBJECTIVES
- To produce competent graduates of Mathematics with sound knowledge and skills to contribute to the rapid technological growth of the Nigerian society and the word at large.
- To produce competent graduates who will seek to advance and exploit entrepreneurial opportunities in the field of Mathematics.
- To produce graduates who will utilize their Mathematics knowledge, skills and abilities to enhance safety, health and welfare of the public through the simulation, construction and maintenance of industrial equipment.
- To produce graduates that will satisfy the manpower needs of our society in sectors of energy, industry, communication, science, engineering and research.
