Welcome!

 

The history of the Department of Mathematics at NUS can be traced back to 1929, when science education began in Singapore with the opening of the Raffles College when less than five students enrolled in mathematics. Today it is one of the largest departments in NUS, with about 70 faculty members and teaching staff supported by 16 administrative and IT staffs.  The Department offers a wide selection of courses (called modules) covering wide areas of mathematical sciences with about 6,000 students enrolling in each semester. Apart from offering B.Sc. programmes in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Quantitative Finance, the Department also participates actively in major interdisciplinary programs, including the  double degree programme in Mathematics/Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, the double major programmes in Mathematics and Economics as well as with other subjects, and the Computational Biology programme. Another example of the Department's student centric educational philosophy is the Special Programme in Mathematics (SPM), which is specially designed for a select group of students who have a strong passion and aptitude for mathematics. The aim is to enable these students to build a solid foundation for a future career in mathematical research or state-of-the-art applications of mathematics in industry.

  

The Department is also proud of its diverse and vibrant research program in fundamental as well as applied mathematics, and promotes interdisciplinary applications of mathematics in science, engineering and commerce. Faculty members are research-active and their works cover all major areas of contemporary mathematics. More information is available at research overview and research awards.

 

The Department has extensive graduate programmes at the MSc and PhD levels with a strong representation of international students. These programmes are expected to expand as the Department continues to develop in the face of rapid high level growth in the research and development sector of Asia-Pacific.
