Mathematics

Mathematics is a scientific discipline, which provides the development of scientific thinking ability and forms the basis of all positive sciences, with the well-known definition. Mathematics is used everywhere from human relations to social relations. Computer subjects such as data structures and algorithms, programming languages, databases and operating systems as well as mathematics subjects such as analysis, algebra, geometry, differential equations, number theory and topology are included together in this program. Mathematics Program meets the need for qualified manpower well-trained in the field of software. In addition to basis of a strong theoretical mathematics; it aims to educate the graduates experienced with mathematical applications and computer skills.
