Course Description:
Mathematics is the mirror of civilization. Being an exact science, mathematics seems to be abstract in nature, however today it penetrates all fields of human endeavor. Latest scientific and technological developments have extended the scope of applications of each branch of mathematics. As mathematics is the backbone of any applied sciences, we at Kathmandu University (KU), strives to run advanced degree programs in mathematics maintaining high standards of teaching and research in major branches of mathematics and statistics, with a unified approach, emphasizing both the pure and applied aspects. KU envisages to contribute in research and teaching through a healthy & fruitful interaction between the students and teachers.
Realizing the necessity of research-based program in mathematics and statistics, KU has prepared an updated course as per the modern trend. The school plans to offer both Full time and Part time M. Phil. Programs suitable for fresh graduates and the working teachers. At present, the M. Phil. degree has two branches of specialization: Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics.
Objective
The general objective of the program is to create scholars for high profile careers in teaching and research at the local as well as global level. The specific objective is to initiate research in pure as well as applied mathematics.
The course has been designed to meet the following
Objectives:
- To produce human resource, skilled in mathematical tools for teaching, research and also to work in business/ financial sectors.
- To focus on both theoretical as well as applied mathematics.
- To pay attention towards the latest developments in mathematics.
