Mathematics

A. Brief about the Department
The Department of Mathematics was one of the pioneer departments established in the then
University of Sokoto, now Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto in September 1975.
Classes started in October 1977 with a few number of students. In 1993/1994 session, the
Department introduced two other degree programmes; B.Sc. Computer Science and B.Sc.
Statistics. Consequently, the department has three (3) units; Mathematics, Computer Science
and Statistics. However, with the establishment of new Faculty of Physical and Computing
Sciences, the three (3) units were upgraded to full-fledged departments in 2022.
Currently, the Department of Mathematics is running a B.Sc. (Hons) in Mathematics and
three (3) postgraduate degree programmes; M.Sc., MPhil/Ph.D., and Ph.D. in Mathematics

with specializations in many areas of pure and applied mathematics. In addition, the
Department serves other departments/faculties in the University.
The Department is administered by the Head of Department with the support of Examination
Officer, Undergraduate and Graduate Project Coordinators, and four (4) Level Coordinators,
one for each of the four levels. At present, the Department has sixteen (16) tenured academic
staff with fifteen (15) PhDs. In addition, the Department has three (3) visiting professors. As
at 2021/2022 session, the enrollment in the Department stood at 197 undergraduate and 114
postgraduate students.
The Department is planning to create additional academic programmes; B.Sc. Operations
Research, B.Sc. Financial Mathematics, B.Sc. Computational Mathematics (Data Science
option) and B.Sc. Biomathematics.

B. Vision
To be a centre of excellence in terms of teaching, research, and community service in all
fields in mathematical sciences.

C. Mission
To produce graduates with a sound knowledge of basic conceptual, theoretical, and applied
framework of both classical and modern mathematics, who can pursue successful careers in
teaching and research in all fields of mathematical sciences and related technology.

K. Physical infrastructure and resources
The department has ten offices before. As a result of the relocation of some Biological Sciences Staff occupying some offices here in former mathematics department, three extra offices where allocated to the former mathematics unit staff. Namely, Dr. S. M. Magami (Room 24 ), Dr. Aminu Mustapha (Room 22 ) and Dr. Bello Nakone (Room 23 ). Currently, the department has thirteen offices.
