The National Mathematical Centre (NMC) was established by ACT, CAP N58, 2004, to among others, train and develop high level of personnel in Mathematical Sciences, create a resource centre to serve National and International communities as a focal point for advanced research and training in mathematical Sciences and applications. The Centre is also mandated to identify and encourage young talents, stimulate enthusiasm among young Nigerian students and attract distinguished mathematical scientists, from all over the world, to enable it tackle national set goals in the development of mathematical sciences.
Mission
To develop appropriate initiative and resources of international standing for the re-awakening and sustaining of interest in the mathematical sciences and their application to life and by so doing produce specialists in the Mathematical Sciences at all levels of our educational system.
ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES
The Academic Programmes as established from the beginning are:
- Mathematics Programme
- Theoretical Physics Programme
- Statistics Programme
- Computer Science Programme
- Mathematical Sciences Education Programme
Training Activity:
- Postgraduate Foundation Courses/targeted at young lecturers at the Universities and other tertiary institutions;
- Graduate Foundation Courses, aimed at re-training interested graduates with first Class or Second Class Upper Division in Pure Mathematics
- Refresher –oriented workshops and Symposia, targeted at employees in the public and private sector with the aim of improving skills, competences and updating knowledge.
