DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS, PHYSICS, AND INFORMATICS
The Department offers a variety of courses in Mathematics, Physics and Informatics to undergraduate students pursuing Bachelor of Science with Education and Bachelor of Education in Science. Students are prepared to be employed in various sectors of the economy by being equipped with knowledge and skills to perform their duties successfully. Thus, the Department comprises of the following three units namely:
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Informatics
The Mathematics Unit offers courses in Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics. The courses that are offered includes Ordinary Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Foundations of Analysis, Functions of Single Variable, Functions of Several Variables, Mathematical Statistics, Linear Programming, Rigid Body Mechanics, Complex Analysis, Abstract Algebra and Functional Analysis. The Unit has sufficient number of Lecturers and Assistant Lecturers specialized in various fields who run different courses of Mathematics.
The Physics Unit offers Physics courses to undergraduate students who pursue Bachelor of Science with Education [B.Sc. (Ed)] and Bachelor of Education in Science [B.Ed. (Sc)]. The undergraduate major in Physics leading to the B.Sc. (Ed) or B.Ed. (Sc) provides for a mastery of Basic Principles and Methods of Classical and Modern Physics and prepares the student for a wide variety of career opportunities.
The Informatics Unit offers courses to undergraduate students pursuing Bachelor of Science with Education where one of the major subjects must be Informatics. The Unit offer courses in Databases, programming, and Networking. The courses that are offered include Data Structures and Programming, Operating Systems, Basic Computer Applications, Network Design and Administration, Software Development, Introduction to High-level Programming, Object-Oriented Programming, System Analysis and Designing, and Implementation of Databases. The courses offered by the department cover both theoretical and practical aspects that prepare students to be ICT-teachers as well as experts once graduated. Furthermore, the unit administers a research project for final year students that stands as a measure of student’s competence upon knowledge acquired in the entire period of study.
