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.
