ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Mathematics was established in 1979 as one of the main academic departments at the University College of Bahrain for Arts, Sciences, and Education. Following the merger of the University College with Gulf Polytechnic in 1986 to form the University of Bahrain, the Department of Mathematics became part of the newly formed College of Arts and Sciences. In 1990, the College of Arts and Sciences was split into the College of Arts and the College of Science, with the Department of Mathematics becoming part of the latter.
