The Department of Mathematics offers a graduate program that leads to the degree of Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences (MMS). The program features a non-thesis option only. The non-thesis option requires the completion of a project. Both part-time and full-time students can be admitted to the program. The MMS program is intended for students who are interested in interdisciplinary program with a major emphasis in mathematics and a minor emphasis in a related subject outside mathematics. The program offers students with a thorough knowledge of applicable mathematics and develops their expertise in applying the methods and tools of mathematics to problems in science, engineering, finance, medicine, and education. Current research interests of the faculty include:
Differential Equations, Numerical Analysis, Integral Transforms, Fractional Calculus, Algebra (Ring Theory); Analysis (Functional Analysis, Operator Theory; Approximation Theory and Fourier Analysis), Geometry (General Topology, Differential Geometry, and Algebraic Topology), Discrete Mathematics, Combinatorics, Dynamical Systems, and Control.
Program Vision:
To be recognized as one of the top mathematics department in the region for offering strong M.Sc. in Mathematical Sciences, and to be valued internationally as a significant contributor to the continuing graduate education in these fields.
Program Mission:
To train students to apply and disseminate mathematical knowledge and understanding.
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs):
To provide students with a comprehensive mathematical education at Kuwait University, so that they can either continue to pursue a Ph. D program at top institutions around the world or to pursue Master and Ph. D programs abroad.
To prepare students to compete successfully for employment and higher positions in government, industry, and non-profit organizations.
To attract students with solid background in mathematics and to engage them in multidisciplinary research.
Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs):
To solve problems in the advanced areas of mathematics including (a) differential equations, (b) numerical analysis, (c) algebra, and (d) real analysis.
To identify, formulate, and solve mathematical science problems by applying advanced mathematics.
To communicate mathematical ideas with clarity and coherence, both written and verbally.
To be able to engage in scientific research and communicate effectively with scientists and engineers.
Values:
- Excellence
- Creativity
- Integrity and Professionalism
