Department of Mathematics
Today, social change and development are gaining momentum together with information and communication technologies. Our mathematical point of view, our expectations from mathematics, the way we use mathematics have been shaped by new information, opportunities and tools. Along with these social changes and developments, there is a great need of individuals who are interested in mathematics and can effectively use the mathematics in modelling and problem solving, and individuals with mathematical thinking power.
In our program, education and training have constantly improved in accordance with the requirements of today’s world, and renewed in the light of experience. In our program; it is important that the learning/teaching process is meaningful, integrative, value-oriented and motivating for the student. In addition, in our program, different instructional approaches and strategies are used in a balanced manner, and information and communication technologies are actively used in the learning teaching process.
Our program aims to train academically and socially successful individuals who can use technology effectively and adapt to technological developments. Our program also aims to train self-reliant, respectful, and honest individuals who are sensitive to universal values, appreciate and respect social and cultural diversity, open to learning and innovations, and also who assimilated their national, spiritual and cultural values.

Department has 4 Professor, 5 Associate Professor, 6 Assistant Professor, 1 Dr. Research Assistants with a total number of 16 academic staff members serving. Department of Mathematics at the Faculty of Science offers a four-year undergraduate education program which meets the international standards at a very high level. The language of teaching is Turkish. There are currently 6 research groups in the department, namely:
1. Algebra and Number Theory
2. Analysis and Theory of Functions
3. Topology
4. The Foundations of Mathematics and Mathematical Logic
5. Geometry
6. Applied Mathematics.
Since 2011, our department maintains its graduate and undergraduate activities under the faculty of science. Our department graduates have a Bachelor's degree in mathematics. Students are accepted to our undergraduate program according to a nation-wide university examination. See http://mevzuat.kmu.edu.tr/ for Karamanoglu Mehmetbey University Regulations on Undergraduate Education and Examination; and http://www.osym.gov.tr for the detailed information on nation-wide university exam. To get an undergraduate degree in Mathematics, one is need complete 240 ECTS credits and have at least 2,00 CPGA (Cumulative Point Grade Average) out of 4,00, see Karamanoglu Mehmetbey University Regulations on Undergraduate Education and Examination. The evaluation and grading of each course is regulated by its own “course syllabus” that is included in the information package concerning evaluation and grading system. Evaluation of exams and letter grades are done according to “Regulations concerning associate and undergraduate education degree and exams in Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University” (see Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University Regulations on Undergraduate Education and Examination).
Students who succeeded from the undergraduate education continues to pursue master’s, doctorate or integrated doctorate programme if they get enough points from ALES exam, and from foreign language tests and also if they pass the interview/science exams. Our graduates have the opportunity to work in a wide range of sectors; academics, informatics, finance and banking, service industry. Moreover, graduates who get pedagogical education certificate and get sufficient score at the corresponding test of KPSS can work as teachers at M.E.B.
