Mathematics
In almost every field of scientific, engineering, economic and industrial endeavor, the language of mathematics is of major importance as the means of communicating ideas, of articulating theoretical concepts, organizing and analyzing data, modeling and projecting trends. A large part of contemporary applied mathematics involves computer-assisted numerical analysis, logic and statistics. Many modern modeling problems in all fields are becoming so complex that their solutions require specialized skills and training in applied mathematics.

EMU Department of Mathematics
In terms of the number of courses taught and the activity of research, the Mathematics Department is one of the largest departments of the Eastern Mediterranean University. The full-time faculty includes 6 professors, 9 associate professors, 9 assistant professors and 2 lecturers. Together with 19 assistants and 13 part time instructors, the number of academic staff for the 2003 -2004 academic year totals 58 members from 8 different countries. All staff members are active in research and have close relationships with well-known universities and research centers around the world. Faculty members are also dedicated teachers who are constantly working on ways to educate their students better and to develop curricula. A low faculty to student ratio enables closer contact between students and instructors, both inside the classroom, and during office hours.

Programs
The Department of Mathematics offers five programs. These are:
· B.S. in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science
· M.S. in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science
· M.S. in Information Systems (Non - thesis)
· Ph.D. in Mathematics
· Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The undergraduate program in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science has been designed to meet the specialized personnel requirements of modern industry, commerce and education. The growth in computer technology has also made the fields of numerical analysis, computer science and computer programming areas of intense activity. At present, there is a serious shortage of adequately trained instructors in computer science and mathematics at all levels. Equipped with modern knowledge, technical skills and the ability to learn, graduates of the Department of Mathematics are qualified to work in almost all areas.

Scholarships
Scholarships, in the form of partial coverage of the tuition fee, are available for all students who show outstanding academic performance.
