The mission of the Department of Mathematics and Sciences is to provide the university community with a theoretical and practical experience in mathematics and the sciences. This experience can be applied to other academic disciplines, teaching, or professional fields. The Department works to provide its students with the background and critical thinking skills required for life-long learning in mathematical and scientific areas.
The objectives of the Department of Mathematics and Sciences are to:
- Meet the interests and career goals of students by offering them flexible programs in mathematics and sciences that would lead to having bachelors of science;
- Provide undergraduate sciences and engineering majors with a strong theoretical and experimental education in preparation for careers in academia, industry, or graduate studies;
- Prepare students for graduate study in basic or applied research, in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and related fields;
- Prepare students for careers that demand the use of mathematics and sciences such as teaching, and careers that require the use of mathematics and sciences;
- Help students develop as rounded individuals by structuring the program within a liberal arts education framework where students are exposed to different fields of knowledge, including literature, philosophy, education, and the arts;
- Provide students with solid liberal education, training and appropriate learning skills and values; and
- Promote life-long independent learning.
Graduates of the programs in Mathematics will be able to:
- Apply the theory and ideas in sciences and engineering applications;
- Use the mathematical computer soft-wares in the sciences and engineering;
- Utilize the statistical techniques in different applications;
- Apply the advanced mathematics theory and practice, in areas of computing and numerical analysis, abstract algebra, mathematical analysis.
Graduates will have many career choices spanning a wide range of fields. Most notable are: teacher, researcher and statistician. Graduates will have employment opportunities in schools, banks and companies. Innovative fields include education, industry, commerce and many other related industries.

The Department of Mathematics and Sciences, Dhofar University conducted the first High School Science Fair Competition on 8 April 2019. It was a unique event to identify and recognize the science talent among the high school students. Based on the overwhelming response, it is decided to carry out this competition annually. It was held under the joint patronage of Dr. Muhammad Asif Gondal, the Chair Department of Mathematics and Sciences and Dr. Khalid Muslem Al Mashikhi, the Dean of the College of Arts and Applied Sciences. It is to be recalled that the Department of Mathematics started the Annual High School Mathematics Competition and has conducted it twice on 25 March 2018 and 5 December 2018 respectively.
There was a closing ceremony at the end of the Science Fair. It was graced by Mr. Jamal Mohammed Al Balushi from Methanol Company. He made an excellent presentation on the company. Mr. Jamal had a close look at the various projects and was very impressed by the projects and the overall conduction of the science fair. Methanol Company was the generous sponsor of the science fair. Dr. Khalid Muslem Al Mashikhi, the Dean of the College of Arts and Applied Sciences also spoke briefly. Mr. Jamal was presented a plaque by Dr. Khalid as a token of appreciation. All the participants were given a certificate of participation. The top three projects in each domain were awarded with a certificate and a gift. The top three schools were also given a shield each. The winners were given prizes (tablets, computer printers, USB and other computer accessories, generously sponsored by the Methanol Company). All the judges were also provided a certificate. All the participants and visitors were provided a badge specially made for the event. Dr. Sameen Ahmed Khan, one of the staff members distributed a set of popular articles authored by him on mathematics, science and environment.
