Brief Introduction

The Mathematics Department of University of Buner is one of the first few departments of the university. The Department is newly established as an independent department in August, 2021. It consists of highly qualified faculty members, most of them are actively engaged in research in the fields of pure and applied mathematics. The faculty members produce an impressive number of research papers in the international journals. The faculty members have research collaborations with the leading researchers of the foreign universities.

Currently the department intends to offer undergraduate degrees in pure, applied and computational mathematics. The department also offers computer courses to enhance the skill of the students. Our courses provide the fundamental mathematical methods needed to use this degree in real-world applications in finance, basic sciences and other areas of business.  Our mission is to contribute more towards the growth of students and scholars as good mathematical thinkers and to give society better citizens. To achieve our goals, we are trying our level best to engage our students and researchers into real-world problems.

These programs have been designed to produce better qualified and more competent manpower to meet the needs of the society in general, and to provide expertise in Mathematics, to solve problems in other areas such as Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Economics, Defense, Industry etc. It has further been designed to motivate, create interest in Mathematics and thus help in creating a scientific culture in the country. Besides this the staff of the department teaches mathematics in almost all the disciplines of the university. Mathematics has been declared as a core subject for all levels in physical as well as social and management sciences by the HEC.

VISION

The vision of the program is to impart a quality education and productive research in different fields of Mathematics. It focuses to produce highly skilled man power, scholars and researchers to meet the contemporary and future challenges. The students will obtain abilities to critically assess numerical and graphical information; learn to formulate strategies for solving problems; and acknowledge the importance of being intellectually curious throughout their adult lives.

MISSION

The mission of the program is to produce graduates who demonstrate an awareness of the importance about virtues and ethics, to promote research culture, and to stimulate Advanced learning methodologies and persistently strives to develop creative thinking skills in students in order to prepare them to take effective decisions in business and many other areas in the future. The faculty of the Department of Mathematics recognizes this and strives to ensure that the student obtains this knowledge. At the same time, the faculty contributes to the discipline by fundamental research in pure and applied Mathematics and Mathematical education.

OBJECTIVES OF THE BS PROGRAM

  • To use appropriate mathematical concepts and skills to solve problems in both familiar and unfamiliar situations in cluding those in real-life contexts.
  • To select and apply general rules correctly to solve problems including those in real-life contexts.
  • To develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to pursue further studies in mathematics.
  • To develop mathematical curiosity and use inductive and deductive reasoning when solving problems.

Codes Distribution

The Mathematics codes consist of four alphabets (MATH) followed by three numeric values. Each numeric value from left to right has its nomenclature as follows:

  1. The first numeric value represents academic year after matriculation that is 3 represent third year after matriculation (BS first year) and in similar way 4, 5 and 6 represent fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh year after matriculation, respectively.
  2. The middle numeric value represents the semester if they are 1 or 2 of that academic year.
  3. The last numeric value represents the number of course of that specific semester if applicable.

Marks Distribution

Mid –term                                                                               =30%
