Mathematics is the basis of all sciences and a natural language in which everything in the universe can be expressed. It is known that mathematics knowledge is needed in the infrastructure of any kind of research. Today, it plays an important role in the fields of Mathematics, Science, Engineering, Architecture, as well as Business Administration and similar social sciences. Because in the business world and social life, there is a need for trained manpower with analytical thinking who can use advanced technology tools, produce rational solutions to problems and express them.
Candidates wishing to choose the Mathematics major should be individuals who are interested in analytical and numerical thinking and enjoy dealing with abstract concepts. In addition, being creative is a feature that facilitates advancement in the profession. In addition to basic mathematics courses in the curriculum of the Department of Mathematics, in-field and non-field elective courses strengthen the program. After the basic education given in the first 2 years, elective course pools are included in addition to the compulsory department courses in the last 2 years. Students who have achieved success above a certain level in their courses are offered the opportunity to get two undergraduate degrees by doing a double major in the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Business and the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, or to obtain a certificate in another field besides their undergraduate diploma by doing a minor.
Students and lecturers of the Department of Mathematics can benefit from the Erasmus Exchange Program. In addition to working as academicians and researchers, the graduates of the department have the opportunity to work in many similar areas such as public and private education institutions, finance sector, insurance field, informatics and media sector. As the department, it is aimed to train mathematicians who are equipped to adapt to the changing and developing world.
VISION
