Department of Mathematics, founded in October 1, 1993, offers programs leading to MS and Ph.D. degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics. Some interdepartmental programs within Mathematics are available to students willing to combine their interests in Mathematics with other concentrations. The Department also serves all Khazar University schools delivering courses of Pre-calculus, General and Advanced Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear and Applied Algebra, Operations Research, General Statistics, as well as, Biostatistics and Business Statistics, Mathematics for Economics and Business, etc.

All programs and coursework reflect a broad range of areas in theory and application within the mathematical sciences. There is a choice of courses, which are similar in subject, but different in level.

There are four types of research-oriented curriculum:

• Mathematics is designed for students with a strong interest in Mathematics

• Mathematics and Computer Science, in which Mathematics is studied on an equal basis with Computer science

• Mathematics and Economics in which students study strong links between
  Mathematics and Economics, particularly, mathematical models in Economics

• Special applied mathematics areas which represent research interests of mathematics faculty
  

Areas of current faculty research interest include functional analysis, operator theory, ordinary and partial differential equations, mathematical physics, algebra, mathematical economics, probability theory and mathematical statistics. In addition to these areas, coursework is provided in optimization and operation research, real and complex analysis, numerical methods, history and philosophy of mathematics.

The Department host seminars which consist of lectures in a numerous topics, reports by faculty or students on recent developments. Computing facilities are provided by the University Computer Centers.

Before admission to candidacy for the Master's degree and Ph.D. in Mathematics, a student must obtain approval from the Department of Mathematics for an individual program. Each student is required to pass preliminary examinations. For additional information contact the Department of Mathematics.
