Welcome to the website of the department of Mathematics at Sultan Qaboos University. The department started in 1986 as a department of Mathematics and Computing offering a single Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and computing. This evolved into three Bachelor degrees in Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science. In 1995 the department of Computer Science was established to host the Computer Science degree. The mother department name then changed to Mathematics and Statistics (DOMAS). In 2018, the department of Mathematics and Statistics (DOMAS) split into two departments; the department of Mathematics and the department of Statistics.

Department of Mathematics is among the largest departments in the University with over 40 faculty members. The department offers programs leading to B.Sc degree in Mathematics, M.Sc degree in pure Mathematics and M. Sc degree in applied Mathematics, and a doctorate degree in Mathematics. The department offers service courses to several colleges in SQU. The department is committed to quality teaching, research and community service. Department of Mathematics faculty members are very active in research.

We hope you find the information in this website useful. Please feel free to contact the department should you have any inquiry.
