INSTITUTE OF
MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES
The Institute of Mathematical Sciences,
abbreviated ISM, was established as a
department in the Faculty of Science when
the University of Malaya was founded in
Kuala Lumpur in 1959. It has grown into
three branches: pure mathematics,
applied mathematics, and statistics. For
the 2025/2026 session, ISM offers the
following three first degree programs:
 Bachelor of Science in Mathematics.
 Bachelor of Science in Statistics.
 Bachelor of Actuarial Science.
The three Bachelor of Science programs
are set up to provide more opportunities
for an undergraduate to major in the field
of mathematics according to his or her
interests. All these programs will assist to
fulfill the vacancies of skilled workforce in
science and technology in the public and
private sectors in line with Malaysia's
aspiration to become a developed nation.
STAFF
ISM has a group of experienced lecturers in
teaching. They are also active in doing
research and have been publishing many
writings in local and international journals.
The research activities encompass a broad
spectrum, from findings and knowledge
that are abstract in nature to those with
direct applications in the industry. ISM also
strives to establish and forge a close
relationship with industry and other
132
research institutions. This strengthens the
quality of teaching and supervising of
projects/theses for students in bachelor’s,
master’s and doctoral levels.
