Master’s (Doctoral) Program in Science and Technology / Mathematics Division

The Mathematics Division of the Master’s Program in Science and Technology emphasizes the Mathematics Seminar as the core of its educational and research activities. Students begin by presenting basic research papers or technical books, then transition to presenting their own research progress and findings, guided by faculty members. This approach not only fosters deep understanding but also prepares students for thesis completion and future research endeavors. The program's graduates have secured positions in a wide array of industries, from finance and insurance to academia and research institutions, reflecting the diverse career paths that a strong mathematical foundation can open.
