Department of Mathematics

Chairman's Message

The objective of the Department of Mathematics at Uttara University is to transform students into competent and motivated professionals with a solid knowledge of mathematics. It is my pleasure to introduce the Department of Mathematics, which is a vital department playing an important role in basic sciences, especially in engineering, technology, business economics, and architecture.

The study of mathematics encourages intellectual growth, rational thought, originality, and abstract thinking.

The Department of Mathematics offers two programs: (i) B.Sc. (Hons) and (ii) M.Sc. (Final & Two Years).

The Department has also initiated the "Math Club of UU," where students are given the opportunity to exhibit their mathematical genius and computational skills.

Dr. Shahansha Khan

Professor and Chairman

The program can be completed in 8 (eight) semesters (4 years).

Graduate Attributes

Graduate attributes are the unique qualities, skills & understandings that enable students to gain their own experiences, approaches, and voice through proper learning and experiences from their degree (academic courses) and co-curricular activities. The graduates of B.Sc. (Honours) in Mathematics program will have:

  • Ability to apply knowledge of basic science and engineering fundamentals.
  • Ability to apply creative, imaginative, and innovative thinking and ideas to problem-solving.
  • Expectation of the need for lifelong learning and the capacity to do so.
  • Practical and contemporary knowledge of relevant professional, ethical, and legal frameworks.
  • Ability to manage personal performance to meet expectations and demonstrate drive, determination, and accountability.

Educational Objectives of the Program

Our graduate will be able to after graduation:

PEO1: Work with students to foster an understanding of core mathematical and scientific concepts, supporting student learning at the foundational level of science and mathematics.

PEO2: Establish partnerships between faculty, students, and others to enhance awareness of the importance of mathematics in developing analytical and critical thinking skills throughout the program.

PEO3: Develop scientific methods and mathematical reasoning as tools for problem-solving and engagement in the research process.

PEO4: Prepare students to apply mathematical and scientific reasoning skills in their academic and professional careers while promoting dynamic and interactive leadership among students.

PEO5: Contribute to the department through publications, presentations, and other forms of intellectual activities. The department strongly encourages continued efforts in these ventures and supports faculty and students in attending, presenting, and organising regional, national, and international conferences.

PEO6: Aim to develop this department as a centre of excellence for learning and research.

Program Learning Outcomes

To prepare students for a successful professional and personal life, the B.Sc. (Honours) in Mathematics program is designed to produce graduates who, at the time of graduation, will have the ability to:

PLO 1: Read, write, and construct correct mathematical problems, while learning diverse perspectives and deepening conceptual understanding through interaction with students from different disciplines.

PLO 2: Formulate and analyze mathematical problems, precisely define key terms, draw clear and reasonable conclusions, and comprehend high levels of abstraction in the study of pure and applied mathematics.

PLO 3: Explain the importance of mathematics and its techniques in solving real-life problems, understanding the limitations of such techniques, and the validity of the results by using different standard software to solve mathematical problems.

PLO 4: Apply their knowledge in modern industry or teaching or secure acceptance into high-quality graduate programs in mathematics and other fields such as engineering, medical science, government, education, quantitative/mathematical finance, mathematical computing, statistics, physics, sociology, etc.

PLO 5: Develop computational skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.

PLO 6: Acquire mathematical knowledge and skills appropriate for professional activities, demonstrate the highest standards of ethics in mathematics, and explore options in fundamental research in pure and applied mathematics, computational mathematics, and mathematics education.
