Applied Mathematics concerns the application of mathematics in plenty of fields in areas such as science, technology, biology. The mission of Department of Applied Mathematics is to provide firm foundation to scientists in various branches such as sciences and technology.

The Master’s program (Applied Mathematics) was Founded in 1994. It aims at broadening and deepening the understanding of the basic concepts underlying mathematics, developing master’s students’ competence in logical, creative, and analytical thinking, problem-solving skills and utilization of the mathematical tools and models in analyzing issues related to science and engineering compared with Bachelor’s students. Masters students in Applied Mathematics learn to model real world problems and utilize applicable software in simulation models to be prepared for pursuing a Ph.D. degree. The areas of specialization in this program are Numerical Analysis, Operations Research, Optimal Control, Optimization, Differential Equations, Graph Theory, and Mathematical Education.

The Ph.D. program (Applied Mathematics) has admitted doctoral candidates since 1994. This program aims at educating knowledgeable specialists in their related areas of specialization who will be able to take the position of academic staff at universities and institutions of higher education in teaching at different levels, doing research, and providing specialized services in mathematics nationally and internationally. This program concentrates on Numerical Analysis, Operations Research, Optimal Control, Optimization, Differential Equations, Graph Theory, and Mathematical Education.
