Dear students and visitors,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Mathematics at the College of Science, Al-Hussein Bin Talal University. Mathematics is the language of science and the foundation of modern technology, from the algorithms behind artificial intelligence to the models that guide decisions in industry and the economy.
With this in mind, the department has renewed its study plans to combine a strong theoretical foundation with modern computational skills. We have added laboratory components to several courses, integrated artificial intelligence, programming and data analysis into the core of the curriculum, and established a new Mathematics Laboratory where students apply what they learn using software and digital tools.
Our aim is to graduate students who think logically, solve problems creatively, and are ready to compete in education, research and the labor market, locally and internationally. Our doors are always open to our students, alumni and community partners.
With warm regards,
Dr. Eyad AlFarajat
Head of the Department of Mathematics
About the Department
The Department of Mathematics at Al-Hussein Bin Talal University, as a part of the College of Science departments, was launched in the academic year 2000/2001. The department provides B.Sc. and M.Sc. programs in Mathematics where students study according to modern and comprehensive study plans, developing their scientific knowledge and basic skills in various fields. It supplies the labor market with competent graduates to serve in the fields of education, industry, and financial and statistical institutions.
Mathematics has a prominent status among the natural, humanistic and social sciences, taking part in all fields of knowledge including numbers, calculation, engineering and problem solving. Our vision is to develop the quality of teaching and learning, scientific research and community service at the local and regional levels, through the mission of providing local and regional communities with distinguished and qualified graduates. Our objectives are not only to provide educational institutions with highly qualified graduates in mathematics, through offering training courses and designing clear research plans, but also to contribute effectively to the success of other Science and Engineering departments by participating in their teaching plans.
New Developments
The department has introduced its new 2026 study plan (132 credit hours) to keep pace with developments in technology programs and to bring artificial intelligence into mathematics education. Highlights include:
• Laboratory courses: Calculus Lab, Statistics Lab and Numerical Analysis Lab, where students apply concepts using mathematical software.
• Artificial intelligence in the curriculum: Linear Algebra with Artificial Intelligence (1) and (2), Numerical Analysis with Intelligent Methods (1) and (2), and Applied Statistics and Statistical Methods with AI Interpretation.
• Programming and data skills: Introduction to Scientific Programming in Python, Data Analysis and Digital Tools, Time Series, and Computational Mathematical Applications.
• New Mathematics Laboratory: an equipped lab serving the laboratory courses, computational courses and graduation projects.
Faculty
The department includes a qualified and experienced team who work together to achieve the goals of the faculty effectively. Faculty members, holding various academic ranks in pure and applied mathematics and statistics, teach different courses, conduct research and supervise graduate students, and participate actively in local and international scientific conferences.
