Based on the philosophy of the department, the department is oriented towards providing students with a broad-based knowledge of theoretical mathematics and more importantly industrial applications. The undergraduate programme is designed to train students in mathematics, and to give the rudimentsof industrial applications. In this regard, the core values of the department include the following:
Providing students with a broad and balanced foundation of mathematics knowledge and practical skills.
Instilling in the students a sense of enthusiasm for mathematics, and appreciation of its applications in different contexts.
Involving the students in intellectually stimulating and satisfying experience of learning and studying.
Developing in the students the ability to apply their knowledge and skills in mathematics to the solution of theoretical and practical problems.
Equipping students with the knowledge and skill-base for further studies in mathematics or such related Multi -disciplinary areas of mathematics.
At present the Department runs a Four year and Three years Program leading to the award of Bachelor of Science (B. Sc Hon) Industrial Mathematics.
B.Sc. Industrial Mathematics
Mathematics is the bed-rock of technological development and therefore of National growth with attendant contribution to human welfare, health and progress. Therefore, the training towards degrees in industrial mathematics is fundamentally geared towards ensuring that Nigeria possesses a critical mass of properly trained and highly competent Mathematicians needed as catalyst.
