The exact number of elective courses offered in each year may differ. Core courses, from the Bachelor of Science
(Computational and Industrial Mathematics), Bachelor of Science (Statistics) or Bachelor of Science (Actuarial and
Financial Mathematics) programs may be taken as elective courses. Please refer to the respective programs.
Attention:
1. Students who wish to specialize in B.Sc. (Mathematics) must take at least 24 credits from courses with codes
SIM3***/SIN3***/SIT3***/SIQ3***(except SIN3014) of which at least 12 credits must be from SIM3***.
2. Students who wish to take SIN3014 or SIN3015 must pass at least 80 credits of the listed mathematics courses.

PROGRAM GOAL
To produce graduates with a sound knowledge of mathematics, capable of analysing and solving
problems and thinking critically, able to adapt to diverse environment and contribute significantly in
various professions.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
1. Give opportunity to students to acquire the fundamental knowledge of mathematics. (PO1,2,6)
2. Prepare students with necessary mathematical and practical skills to assist them in their
employment and research work.(PO1,2,6,7,8)
3. Guide and train students to communicate effectively and to be able to work independently as well
as in teams. (PO3,4,5)

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the program, graduates with B.Sc. (Mathematics) are able to:

1. Explain mathematical theory (pure, applied and statistics) which includes mathematical
arguments, proofs and abstract concepts.
2. Perform mathematical computation, apply mathematical software and formulate real problems as
mathematical models.
3. Conduct professional activities with good social skills, and demonstrate sense of responsibility in
society.
4. Practice characteristics associated with professionalism and ethical responsibility in the field of
mathematics.
5. Communicate relevant concepts effectively and accurately.
6. Analyse and assess problems, and develop strategies to obtain solutions.
7. Engage in life-long learning to advance knowledge and applications of mathematics.
8. Apply managerial and entrepreneurial skills to manage resources needed to complete a task.
