Foundation: |
|
|
|
The Faculty of Mathematics was started as a department within the
School of Science in Gordon Memorial College in 1936. In 1978 the
Senate of the University decided to merge the departments of
Mathematics of the faculties of Science, Engineering and Education,
under the administration of one Faculty, named the School of
Mathematical Sciences, which in 1995 became the Faculty of
Mathematical Sciences. |
|
|
|
|
|
This change was accompanied by academic improvements that resulted in
restructuring and upgrading the courses. |
|
|
|

The building of
the Faculty is located in the central campus at the Southern side of
Sharia El Gama to the West of the University Administration. |
