About Department of Mathematics

Mathematics is a broad field encompassing the study of numbers, shapes, patterns, quantities, and space. The term originates from the Greek word “mathema,” which stands for “science, knowledge, or learning.” This discipline involves quantitative calculations and logical reasoning, thereby forming the foundation for various fundamental and applied disciplines. It is indispensable in natural sciences, engineering, medicine, finance, computer science, and social sciences. Mathematics is widely applied in scientific modeling, enabling realistic predictions of various multi-scaled, multi-dimensional physical processes based on experimental laws. Thus, one can easily understand that how mathematics underpins numerous disciplines, including natural sciences, engineering, and many others.
