Mathematics is the "Queen of Sciences". Scientific and industrial progress in recent years has made Mathematics one of the most important subjects of our time. Anyone these days who want to make progress within his day-to-day life has to become familiar with the language of Mathematics. More than its role as a mere language Mathematics has now found an increasingly significant influence in many diverse fields, from management to medicine. An undergraduate degree in Mathematics will open the way to a future filled with wide opportunities for jobs and professions. Mathematics related professionals such as Actuarial Scientists, Accountants, and Statisticians are quite high in demand worldwide. Furthermore, Mathematics alone will enable a person to make a positive contribution to the society. Mathematics is, in addition to being the language of science in its own right, a way of logical thinking rather than rules and regulations. 42
General Degree Mathematics is offered as one of the three subjects for the general degree. The department also offers basic mathematics courses for the biological students. Special Degree Promising students are selected at the end of the second year, based on their performance in Mathematics courses during the first 2 years. Special degree students are required to undergo industrial training for a fixed duration, which will open them an exposure to the world of Mathematics outside the academia. Further to this, Special Degree students can choose their final year projects from the areas such as Algebra, Analysis, Numerical Analysis, Computer Applications, Mathematical Modeling and Statistics. They can even choose to solve an existing problem of national importance. Postgraduate Diploma/M.Sc. Programs Being the first Faculty of Applied Science of the country and realizing the potential of graduates with a strong mathematical background, we launched the first Postgraduate Diploma/M.Sc. program in Industrial Mathematics in Sri Lanka, in 1996. Computer Technologies and Facilities Though the Department of Mathematics has only a handful of academics, we are fortunate to have a sound blend of both 'Pure' and 'Applied' Mathematicians. As a result, the programs and courses of the Department of Mathematics are designed to cater to students, who are either strong in abstract thinking or more applied oriented. As there is a high demand for Computational Mathematics, the department has introduced a practical component each to most of the Mathematics course units in the department with the students having access to a well-equipped computer laboratory. 43
