History

Department of Mathematics was established in 1992 within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. In addition to our four-year undergraduate program, our department also has master and doctorate programs. Our Ph.D. Program has been in operation since 2006 -2007 academic year. In our department, there are 6 Departments of Analysis and Functions Theory, Algebra and Number Theory, Geometry, Topology, Applied Mathematics and Mathematics Fundamentals and Logic.

Profile of the Programme

In addition to the traditional fields of application in the physical sciences, the increasing use of mathematics in the fields of new knowledge such as biology and social sciences is rapidly developing and expanding. Especially the recent developments in computer technology in the last few years have led to the emergence of new mathematical disciplines. The Department of Mathematics offers a doctoral program designed to prepare students for mathematics or natural sciences, social sciences and related fields of engineering, taking these facts into consideration. PhD program; It provides a good foundation for students wishing to pursue careers in science, technology, business or government related fields where education, research or mathematics are important. As of the academic year of 2024-2025, there are 4 Professor, 7 Associate Professor, 4 Assistant Professor, 3 Research Assistant Doctor in our department. The doctoral program is eight semesters for those admitted with a master's degree with thesis except for the time spent in scientific preparation, and the maximum completion time is twelve semesters. It is ten semesters for those admitted with a Bachelor's degree and the maximum completion time is fourteen semesters. Students who have applied to the doctoral program with a bachelor's degree, or who cannot complete their thesis study within the maximum period, who are not successful in their doctoral thesis, are awarded a master's degree without thesis if they have fulfilled the required credit load, project and other conditions for the non-thesis master's degree.

Exam Regulations & Assesment & Grading

Students are obliged to attend all theory and practice courses, laboratory studies and exams in education programs.Attendance status is monitored and recorded by the instructor. Each semester, at least one midterm and final exam are given. Students who do not take the exam for a valid reason have the right to take the make-up exam if they are accepted by the Graduate School Administrative Board. Year-end exams are held at the places and dates announced by the department. Student assessment methods can take different forms for each course. Evaluation is generally based on open or closed exams, reports, homework, small written exams, seminar presentations or oral examinations, laboratory or workshop performance. The instructor may also take into account the attendance status of the student in addition to his / her performance and exams.Courses which do not require mid-term and final exams are determined by the department. In such cases, the semester grade is given according to the student's semester performance. Exams; mid-term, final exam and make-up exams. In order for the student to take the final exam; at least 70% of theoretical courses and 80% of laboratories and applications.In order for the student to take the final exam; at least 70% of theoretical courses and at least 80% of laboratory and applications.Exams; written, oral, written-applied and oral-applied. For each course, at least one midterm exam is held in the related semester. The mid-term and final grade grades are decided by EYK at the beginning of each semester with the recommendation of the instructors who have the doctoral degree determined by the Senate. Students can take the proficiency exam twice a year in the fall and spring semesters. The student who is accepted with a master's degree is required to take the proficiency exam until the end of the seventh semester. The proficiency exams are organized and conducted by the doctoral qualification committee of the EABDB proposal and assigned by the Board of Higher Education (EYK) for the duration of the assignment. Doctorate proficiency exam is conducted in two sections, written and oral. Questions and questions asked in oral and written exams are taken into account. Written exam success can be evaluated with grade.

Graduation Requirements

In order to complete the program, at least 7 courses must be successfully completed (seminar, proficiency exam, thesis proposal and thesis work).

Occupational Profiles of Graduates

Graduates of the Department of Mathematics are employed in many areas related to their profession in the public and private sectors. In addition, when many graduates meet the necessary requirements in the fields of as a lecturer.

Access to Further Studies

Graduates who have successfully completed the PhD program may apply for an academic position to higher education institutions in the same or similar fields, or to a specialist position in research centers in public institutions.

Mode of Study

Formal education The general objectives of the department are as follows: - To prepare students for the relevant doctoral field after teaching the scientific principles necessary to understand the foundations of mathematics, especially applied mathematics, algebra, differential equations and topology. - To prepare students for more advanced studies in their fields or related fields, - To provide students with doctoral education in their fields and related fields in accordance with their career development. - To provide quality education to train faculty members for universities, - To organize meetings with teachers and students in nearby high schools in order to inform them about mathematics and mathematical sciences.
