The Department of Mathematics is one of the major departments at AL-Leith University College. The Department was established in conjunction with the establishment of the College in 1422/1423 H. Until the academic year 1430-1431 H., the Department was devoted only to females. However, as of the first semester of the academic year 1431-1432 H., a division for males was created to offer a four-year undergraduate program in mathematics. The Department’s plan focuses on the basic concepts and applications in the different branches of mathematics so that graduate may resume his/her graduate studies on the one hand, and play an outstanding role in research, development and work in mathematics-related scientific and industrial institutions on the other hand. The Department of Mathematics also offers mathematics courses for other academic departments.
