Master the language of the universe in our program, where mathematics exploration fuels advancements in science, technology, and problem-solving.
he Department of Mathematics offers a graduate program that leads to Master of Science degree in Mathematics. The Program features a thesis and non-thesis option. The thesis option requires a successful conclusion of a thesis, and the non-thesis option requires the completion of a project. Passing a comprehensive examination is required for students who choose a non-thesis option. English is the Language of instruction and research.
Vision
To be recognized as one of the top mathematics department in the region for offering strong M.Sc. in Mathematics, and to be valued internationally as a significant contributor to the continuing graduate education in these fields.
Mission
To train students to apply and disseminate mathematical knowledge and understanding.
Educational Objectives
- 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 mathematical research.
Student Learning Outcomes
- 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 complex mathematical problems by applying advanced mathematics.
- To communicate mathematical ideas with clarity and coherence, both written and verbally.
- To perform and disseminate research individually and in collaboration with other researchers.
