The aims and objectives of the association includes meeting both the academic, financial and social needs of namssnites…………
The undergraduate programme is designed to equip students with the tools for mathematical techniques and thinking. At the early stages, students are exposed to the fundamentals of mathematical processes and principles in both Pure and Applied Mathematics which will satisfy both the needs of mathematicians and users of Mathematics. The Department offers candidates potentially capable of undertaking further study the opportunity to concentrate as necessary in a theoretical and/or applied area.In the process it exposes students to real-life problems with a view to assisting them in seeing the connection between theory and practice.
Although, mathematics as a subject is basically in the Faculty of Science, the programme is such that students outside the Faculty of Science, e.g. Faculties of Technology and Social Sciences, can pursue it, combining it with subjects of their choice and thus culminating in either combined Honours or even as an Honours degree in Mathematics. For students in this category, appropriate subjects in consultation with the Dean of the Faculty concerned can usually replace the Physics, Chemistry and Botany courses in the Foundation Programme.
