School of Mathematical SciencesSCHOOL OF MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES(math.usm.my)INTRODUCTIONThe School of Mathematical Sciences was established on May 29, 1974. As with theother science schools, the School of Mathematical Sciences offers the Bachelor ofScience and Bachelor of Applied Science degrees. In addition, the school is also involvedrunning mathematics courses for various programme in the University degrees.The Bachelor of Science (Mathematics) programme is formulated in an effort to producegraduates who are well-trained in the Mathematical Sciences to meet the nation’smanpower needs. The curriculum is devised so as to provide a broad-based and rigorousmathematics education. The skills obtained at the end of the program will provide a firmfoundation for the graduates to further advance their knowledge in MathematicalSciences.VISIONTo be a recognized department of mathematics that can attract excellent students andproduce quality mathematicians nationally and internationally.MISSIONTo lead and innovate in achieving excellence in mathematical sciences at the internationallevel through advancing and disseminating knowledge and truth; instilling qualities thatstress academic excellence and professionalism; developing holistic individuals; andproviding a strong commitment towards the society aspiration; the country’s vision anduniversal aspirations.
School of Mathematical SciencesPROGRAMME OBJECTIVESGraduates of Bachelor of Science (Mathematics) will:1. Excel in mathematical practices in various sectors.2.
