Post Graduate

Our Department offers the following post graduate programs

HONOURS LEVEL:

(a) Applied  Mathematic

Prerequisites: 64 credits in MAP at 300 level; a good pass in MAT at 300 level is also advisable. The Honours  module comprises 5 topics (125 credits), selected from the following papers in consultation with the Programme Coordinator. A maximum of two topics (50 credits) may be selected from the Honours modules in Pure Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science, in consultation with the Programme Coordinator.

(b) Pure Mathematics

Prospective candidates should consult the Program Coordinator. Normally candidates will not be admitted unless they have obtained an average of at least 60% in all the required third-year mathematics modules at the first attempt.

The examination consists of five papers (each carrying 25 credits), or four papers and a project worth 25 credits. A maximum of two papers may be selected from Honours papers offered in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science and Mathematical Statistics.

The following papers are usually in the Programme from which learners must make their selection in consultation with the Programme Coordinator. (Other topics may be offered, depending on the interests of incumbent staff members)

MAT 501: Group Theory                              (25 credits)

MAT 502: Ring Theory                                 (25 credits)

MAT 503: Module Theory                             (25 credits)

MAT 504: General Topology                        (25 credits)

MAT 505: Real Analysis                               (25 credits)

MAT 506: Complex Analysis                        (25 credits)

MAT 507: Functional Analysis                     (25 credits)

MAT 508: Measure and Integration Theory (25 credits)

MAT 509: Graph Theory                               (25 credits)
