About the Department of Mathematics
History
The Department of Mathematics at the University of Kurdistan, as the university's inaugural academic department, commenced its activities in 1974, concurrent with the establishment of the Sanandaj Higher Education Complex for Teacher Training. It has consequently played a foundational role in the genesis of higher education within the province. From its inception until 1993, the department exclusively admitted students to its undergraduate program in Mathematics Education.
In 1993, upon receiving official authorization from the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology, the department began admitting students to undergraduate programs in both Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics. Subsequently, in 2007, admissions for the Bachelor's program in Mathematics Education were reinstated via the national university entrance examination. In alignment with the expansion of postgraduate studies, the department successfully launched a Master of Science program in Applied Mathematics in 2005, followed by a Master of Science in Pure Mathematics in 2007. A further milestone in the department's history was achieved in 2011 with the establishment of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programs in Pure Mathematics (with specializations in Algebra and Analysis) and Applied Mathematics (with a specialization in Numerical Analysis), thereby ushering in a new era of its academic and research activities.
Presently, the Department of Mathematics is active across all three academic levels—bachelor's, master's, and doctoral—and, with its rich and extensive history, is recognized as one of the most well-established and influential academic departments at the University of Kurdistan.
