 To prepare students who think critically, have abilities to reason logically and provide
new solutions to the mathematical problems,
 To produce graduates who are able to contribute their innovative research ideas approach
to industry and in educational field.
This department teaches both undergraduate and graduate students with a wide range of
abilities and needs. Students at the masters level acquire a solid understanding of mathematics
and the ability to apply it effectively. Doctoral students acquire the experience necessary to do
original research in mathematics, as well as the versatility to connect mathematics with others
fields. In research, we extend the frontier of mathematical knowledge by producing quality
research with original results and by collaborating with other disciplines. Our research
mission complements our teaching mission because a strong research program is essential for
the development of future mathematicians.
