The Bachelor of Science (Applied Mathematics) with Honours is a program formulated as an effort to produce graduates trained in the field of Mathematical Science who are able to apply their knowledge and expertise to meet the nation’s manpower needs. The program curriculum has been fully integrated to meet the eleven domains of program learning outcomes recommended by the MOHE. This program basically trained the students to apply mathematical knowledge as well as related concepts in various areas of focus such as computing, optimization, geometry, physical science, and so on. Students will also be exposed to knowledge and skills in various up-to-date mathematical methods as well as computer programming. Along with the development of current technology and the needs of the industrial revolution (IR) 4.0, several courses in this program have been embedded with SAS modules that enable students to obtain a globally recognized SAS professional certificate. In addition, the program also trains students to think logically, structured and precise manner and thus enables them in finding effective solutions in related fields. At the end of the study, in the seventh semester, students will undergo Industrial Training for 24 weeks in the industry whether public or private, local or international sector. While in the industry, students will be supervised by supervisors from the industry and have the opportunity to practice the theories learned in the lecture room as well as go through real-world work experience in preparation for the next phase. The duration of study for this program is 7 semesters or three and a half years.
This programme is offered for students to achieve the following objectives:
PEO1 : Knowledgeable and have practical skills in the field of Applied Mathematics in line with industry requirements.
PEO2 : Have effective communication and interpersonal skills and demonstrate good leadership qualities in the organization.
PEO3 : Ability to analyze and solve real problems using numeracy skills based on scientific methods and critical thinking without compromising on values and integrity.
PEO4 : Ability to access, manage and deliver information using the latest digital technology as well as demonstrate entrepreneurial skills as added value for career advancement.
This course covers the basic concept of corruption, including the value of integrity, anti-corruption, forms of corruption, abuse of power in daily activities and organizations as well as waysto prevent corruption. Cases related to corruption are discussed. Teaching and learning methods are implemented in the form of ‘experiential learning’ through individual and group activities. At the end of this course, students are able to understand the practice of integrity, the concept of corruption, anti-corruption, abuse of power as well as the prevention of corruption in society and organizations.
This course gives students an exposure to the basic concepts of entrepreneurship. Students will do learning activities that lead to building an entrepreneurial mindset as an initial preparation for a future career. This course provides an exposure to students on knowledge in entrepreneurship. It also gives students the opportunity to apply the knowledge obtained from their respective fields. In addition, the course aims to apply the entrepreneurial mind sets into their life after graduation.
This course discusses the topics of limit and continuity, multivariable functions, partial derivatives, total derivative and multiple integration. In addition, this course also discusses the cylinder coordinate, spherical coordinate and the change of variables in multiple integration.
This course is an introduction to techniques of solutions for differentiation equations that require a basis in calculus as well as algebra.

Topics also include simplex method, duality and its sensitivity analysis, transportation and network problems. The course also supports the industrial revolution through the application of SAS programming to solve optimisation problems.
This course discusses several mathematical techniques which are used in solving for unconstrained and constrained optimization problems. Unconstrained methods include Fibonacci search, Newton method, Secant method, gradient method and conjugate direction method. Meanwhile constrained methods include Lagrange condition and Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition. Students also will solve optimization problems using software SAS.
This course discusses the topics involves the vector and geometry of space, calculus for vector valued functions and integration of vector valued function in two and three dimensional of space.
This course discusses the concepts of sets, functions and the set of integers. It continues by discussing linear congruence and subsequently equivalence relations.

Discussion on theory of ideals and basic operation involving ideals end this course.
This course discusses mathematical methods and techniques commonly used in solving science, technology and engineering problems. It begins with a series solution for differential equations involving the power series method and the Frobenius method. Applications for the power series and the Frobenius series were also discussed in solving special differential equations such as the Legendre, Hermite, Laguerre and Bessel equations which eventually produced special polynomial functions such as the Legendre, Hermite, Laguerre and Bessel polynomials. Later, Fourier analysis which is one of the methods often used in solving real world problems is also discussed in this course.
