Welcome to the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the American University of Sharjah!
The department provides, based on the American model, core education in mathematics and statistics that equips the students with the quantitative and reasoning skills to be life-long learners and successful professionals in their fields. The department conducts internationally recognized research, and engages with the wider community through professional consultation, academic collaboration, and other outreach activities.
In addition to many preparatory and general education mathematics and statistics courses offered to all disciplines on campus, the department offers courses leading to several degrees:
- Bachelor of Science in Mathematics
- Master of Science in Mathematics
- Minor in Actuarial Mathematics
- Minor in Applied and Computational Mathematics
- Minor in Data Science
We are very proud of our alumni and their accomplishments. Some of them occupy competitive positions at local, regional, and international companies in industry, finance, media, and other fields. Others are dedicated teachers in high schools and higher education institutions in the region. While some others have successfully joined post-graduate programs at major institutions in North America and Europe including Texas A&M University, University of British Columbia, University of Maryland, Cornell University, University of Lille, and others.
We are committed to disseminating mathematical knowledge through excellence in research, innovative teaching in a friendly learning environment, and services to the university and community at large. They have diverse background and professional experience from leading institutions in US, Canada, and Europe, and their research findings appear in top-rated international journals in their field of expertise.
