MS Mathematics

Introduction

Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics, in the University of Jhang, offers 2 years (4 semesters) MS program in Mathematics (with research) to provide an opportunity to advance and solidify an understanding of the mathematical sciences. Three core and a variety of optional courses are offered to enhance research in modern areas of mathematics, both theoretical and applied. Study at the master's level allow the students to focus exclusively on study of mathematics that can lead to doctoral study or can be a point of entry for a career in industry.

Available Research Options:

  • Mathematical modeling of Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow problems
  • Boundary layer flows and structure interactions
  • Numerical solutions of non-linear fractional partial differential equations
  • Finite element and finite difference methods
  • Applications of Algebra, Finite Groups
  • Discrete Mathematics
  • Fuzzy Algebra and Logic
  • Fixed Point Theory
  • Functional Analysis

Duration of the Program:
This is normally a two years program comprising of 4 semesters. There will be a Fall and Spring semester each year. The maximum duration to complete MS in Mathematics is 4 years.
Degree Requirement:
  • For the MS Mathematics program, students will have to complete the 24 teaching credit hours and 6 Master’s Thesis credit hours offered by the department.
  • Students must have to take three core courses as and when offered by the department.
  • Two research seminars will be compulsory for the completion of the MS degree.
Medium of Instruction and Examination:

The medium of instruction and examination will be English.

Assessment and Evaluation:

For assessment and evaluation the HEC/University of Jhang, regulations shall be followed.

Career Opportunities:

Graduate students of the Mathematics Department will be accomplished to handle various physical problems of science and engineering with the applied mathematical techniques. The graduates may serve as academicians as well as researchers. The holders of this degree would be able to serve in financial services, computing, game designing, research industries, actuarial sciences, post-graduate study-PhD, data sciences, College/University teaching and operational research.

Mission & Vision

The mission of MS program is:

  • to provide an environment where students can learn and become competent users of mathematics and mathematical applications
  • to establish industry links to develop mathematical models and help industry
  • to undertake educational outreach and community engagement that increases mathematical and computing literacy nationally and globally

The Vision of MS program is:

We share the vision of developing our intellectually vigorous community of students and faculty, together in research and teaching and to upgrade performance standards in the field of mathematics in order to be a leading department in Pakistan.

Objectives

The main objective to start MS Program in Mathematics at the University of Jhang is to train students with progressive knowledge of Mathematics. The broad objectives of the MS program in Mathematics are the following:

  • To provides an opportunity to expand knowledge in every field of Mathematics and its application by providing courses at graduate level.
  • To affords a unique academic experience via a high-quality program.
  • To inculcate a culture of research in students and to inspire them towards a career of innovation.
  • To acquire both a conceptual and operational understanding of the core areas of mathematics like Applied and Pure Mathematics.
  • To teach students basic concepts of Mathematics, empower them with computational skills to solve Mathematical problems using computers and to provide appropriate mathematical background to their needs.
  • To provide students with a professional learning experience that instills a sense of professional ethics in their personal discipline.
  • It equips students to apply a range of mathematical tools to solve problems within Mathematics and in other relevant disciplines.
  • To make students must not only be mathematically competent but also ethically and professionally capable of creating job market in Pakistan.
Course work, research seminars, and the thesis will be the key factors to award an MS degree. After completion of two-semester course work graduate students will have the opportunity to choose a research area from a variety of available options.

Eligibility Criteria:

  • A minimum of 16 years of education leading to BS/ M.Sc degree in Mathematics or equivalent from HEC recognized institutions.
  • Minimum 2.5/4.0 CGPA or 50% marks for annual examination system. Furthermore HEC guidelines will be observed for eligibility requirements.
