In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to God, the Creator of the Universe, and may peace and blessings be upon the most honorable of all prophets and messengers, our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions.
Since its inception, the Department of Mathematics has taken confident and deliberate strides to guide students in applying logical methods, understanding correct mathematical concepts, and honing their skills. These efforts are made possible through the dedicated work of a distinguished team of faculty members specializing in diverse mathematical fields.
Our department plays a pivotal role in advancing scientific research, contributing to the dissemination of knowledge through the publication of peer-reviewed articles in prestigious international journals and active participation in global conferences. We offer both Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs in Mathematics to equip students for advanced doctoral as well as professional studies at esteemed national and international institutions.
We are proud to have received conditional accreditation from the National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment at the national level. Additionally, the department plays a key role in program delivery across the university, offering Mathematics courses to students enrolled in various programs beyond those specifically provided by our department. In alignment with Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University's strategic objectives, we strive to establish our university as a world-class leader in education and research through strong collaboration with the community.
Looking ahead, we are excited about several initiatives in the pipeline, including a Ph.D. program in Mathematics, a B.Sc. in Mathematics with a specialization in Data Science, a Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science, a Professional Master’s program in Statistics and Data Science, and a minor program in Data Science. These additions aim to meet the evolving needs of students and the global job market.
Our achievements are reflected in our ranking as the second-highest in Mathematics specialization according to the Shanghai Rankings. Furthermore, eight of our esteemed faculty members are featured in the global top 2% list of highly cited researchers. Our graduates find employment across a broad spectrum of domains, including education, banking, finance, IT, and marketing, contributing significantly to various industries.
We hope this handbook provides valuable insight into the department’s vision, mission, goals, academic programs, research endeavors, and faculty achievements. Your feedback is invaluable in enhancing the quality of education and fostering growth.
May God continue to bless us in our efforts, and may peace and blessings be upon the Prophet Muhammad and his companions.
Sincerely,
Dr. Fahad AlJuaydi
