Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics

Mathematics and Applied Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics grew from its humble beginnings in 1913, with only 38 students, to one of the biggest departments on campus, with more than 12000 students enrolled for mathematics modules. The diverse and competent staff corps boasts expertise in a variety of fields. The Department prides itself in excelling in both its teaching and research activities as well in community based activities.

Physically, the Department is situated on the western side of the campus of the University of Pretoria. The building has a classical old-time character surrounding a quad where the bustle of students adds vibrancy. A newer feature is an enclosed garden that provides a popular venue for outdoor functions. The singular environment is complemented by a tangible academic atmosphere.
