COMPUTATIONAL AND THEORETICAL SCIENCES
What is mathematical sciences?
Mathematics is the study of measurements, forms, patterns, variability and
change. It has evolved from human efforts to understand the natural world. Its roots go far back in prehistory, but an unbroken
chain of development has continued for more than two thousand years since the Greek civilization at the time of Euclid . The
end of this chain, modern mathematical sciences, is in its own right a supreme creation of the human intellect; it is also
critical for economic competitiveness, and is a basis for investigations in many fields.
Over the course of time, mathematical sciences have developed a rich and
intrinsic culture that feeds back into the natural sciences and technology. The discipline now reaches far beyond the physical
sciences and engineering; it reaches into medicine, commerce, industry, the life sciences, the social sciences, and every
other application that needs quantitative analysis. Its influence has been vastly enlarged by modern computers. Computer use
in problem solving, simulation and decision making relies on powerful computational algorithms derived from new mathematical
developments.
Mathematical Sciences in IIUM
The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences (BMathSc) programme has a minor critical
component in Islamic Revealed Knowledge in addition to the core Mathematical Sciences subjects. The goal is to generate responsible
mathematical scientists who would contribute to nation-building and be the pride of the Ummah .
The degree programme in Mathematical Sciences is aimed at developing versatile
graduates who are able to think critically and creatively in order to analyse situations, organise information and devise
solutions to complex problems at the workplace.
