INTRODUCTION
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers a broad integrated programme of studies in Mathematical disciplines.
The first two years of the structured programme afford each student the maximum opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes that will best motivate and equip him/her to choose the field of endeavor most appropriate to his or her talents. Basic Mathematics knowledge and skills are emphasized at that level. In the last two years each student concentrates on one of the five areas: Mathematics, Statistics, Mathematics/Statistics, Mathematics/Computer Science, and Statistics/Computer Science.
Objective
The programmes are designed to equip graduates for a wide variety of careers in the Mathematical disciplines. The main objectives are as follows:
(i) To solve the manpower needs of the immediate environment in particular and the nation in general as regards the disciplines of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science.
The programmes are designed to equip graduates for a wide variety of careers in the Mathematical disciplines. The main objectives are as follows:
(i) To solve the manpower needs of the immediate environment in particular and the nation in general as regards the disciplines of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science.
(ii) To prepare students for employment in establishment and industries and for research and graduate studies in these disciplines.
The applicability of these disciplines in the modern industrial environment is highly emphasized. As industries nowadays depend heavily on the use of computers for aspects of their day-to-day operations, the Mathematics and Statistics programme is tailored to developing computing skills that will enable the graduates to fit into the modern industrial environment. The Mathematics/Statistics programmes, as well as stressing traditional methods, also incorporates new computer-based techniques and popular statistical softwares. Consequently Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is emphasized for students in the department.

Curriculum
The curriculum for the BSc. Degree programmes in the Department consists of two sections namely the introductory and the advanced sections. The introductory section consists of foundation courses which are taken by all the students of the department and it extends over the first four semester of the four-year degree programme. The foundations courses seek to provide a strong grounding in Mathematics and basic sciences.
