 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT

1. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of Pure and applied Mathematics was established in 1990 with
Professor R. O. Ayeni as the foundation Head of Department. Three programmes were
approved to run in the department. These are B. Tech. Mathematics, B. Tech. Industrial
Mathematics and B. Tech. Statistics.

The Department has graduated at least thirteen (13) sets of students with B. Tech
Mathematics three (3) sets of students with B. Tech. Statistics. Moreover, Senate at one
of its meetings in May, 2012 gave approval for the separation of the B. Tech Statistics
programme from the department which led to the creation of a new Department of
Statistics.

2. PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy that guides the programme is to train the students in order to
produce Professional mathematicians who are able to apply mathematical techniques in
the study of scientific and technological problem and are competent enough to undertake
research activities in various branches of mathematics and Science in general. In line
with the University’s mission the training of the graduate will be geared towards
producing quality graduate with great entrepreneural skills suitable for national
development.

3. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE DEPARTMENT PROGRAMMES

The main objectives of the Department Programmes at the undergraduate level are:

(i) To provide adequate instructions and training of professional Mathematicians

who will be able to apply mathematical techniques in the study of scientific and
technological problems and who will be competent enough to undertake research
activities in various branches of mathematics ; and
 (ii) To give instructions and expert advice in mathematics to those who require them
in some other disciplines in the various departments of the University.

4. DEGREES OFFERED

The department offers two programmes leading to the following degree

(i) B. Tech (Maths) with restricted electives in Physical Sciences and Engineering
(Industrial Mathematics).
(ii) B. Tech (Maths) with restricted electives in Biology (Biomathematics). Thirteen
(13) sets of students had been graduated from the B. Tech (Maths) with restricted
electives in Physical Sciences and Engineering. Many of these graduates are
working in several sectors of the Nigerian economy and other countries. Some of
them had obtained higher academic qualifications, including M. Sc and Ph.D
Degrees.

7. MATRICULATION
All students entering the University for the first time will be required to matriculate at a
formal ceremony to be presided over by the Vice-Chancellor which normally takes place
after registration and having been certified that such candidates are qualified for the
courses offered them on admission.
The Dean of each Faculty presents students from his/her Faculty for matriculation while
the registrar administers the matriculation Oath. Students are made to solemnly
undertake and swear to observe and respect the provisions of the Ladoke Akintola
University of Technology, Ogbomoso, laws and status ordinances and regulations which
are now in force or which may be brought into force in addition to not belonging to
secrete cult.

8. DURATION OF B. TECH DEGREE PROGRAMME

Normally, the B. Tech Programmes are five year programmes
(i) A student admitted through UTME or Pre-Degree is expected normally to spend a
minimum of five (5) years and a maximum of seven and half (7½) years
 (ii) A student admitted through Direct entry is expected normally to spend a
minimum of four (4) years and a maximum of six (6) years.
(iii) A student admitted though transfer is expected normally to spend a minimum of
the number of years left for him/her to graduate and a maximum of one and half
(1½) of the number of years left. For example, a student transferred to 300 Level
has three years left to graduate. Therefore he/she normally has a minimum of
three (3) years and a maximum of four and half (4½) years to graduate.
9. REGISTRATION FOR courses
All students of the department must register at the beginning of each semester for courses
approved by the university authority. Normally a student is allowed to register for a

17. GRADING POINT, GRADE POINT AVERAGE AND CUMULATIVE
GRADEPOINT AVERAGE.
17.1 GRADE POINT (GP)
If a student has a score of 61% in a course that has 3 units, then the student’s
letter grade is B and the corresponding point is 4. Therefore the student’s grade
point (GP) for that course is 3 x 4 = 12.
GP = number of units X corresponding point.
17.2 The grade point average (GPA) is the average of grade points for the semester. If
a students for the Harmattan Semester are as follows:
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)
Course Units Score%Letter Grade Point GP

MTH 201 3 60 B 4 12
MTH 203 2 54 C 3 6
MTH 207 3 64 B 4 12
MTH 211 3 80 A 5 15
STA 207 4 60 B 4 16
BCH 201 3 50 C 3 9
CSE 201 3 65 B 4 12
GNS 209 2 71 A 5 10
23 92

The entries under (6) are the products of corresponding entries under (2) and (5)
For example the 15 for MTH 211 is obtained from 3 x 5
The sum of the units is 23
The sum of the GPs is 92
Therefore the average of the GPs is
92
GPA = = 4
23

NOTE that GPA is computed per semester

17.3 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

 The cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is the grade point average of all the course
taken to date.
Example: Suppose a student in year 2 who is a direct admission student has the following
cumulative records:
HARMATTAN RAIN SEMESTER
Course Units Grade GP COURSE Units Grade GP
MTH 201 3 B 12 MTH 202 3 C 9
MTH 203 2 C 6 MTH 206 2 B 8

CSE 204 2 C 8
GNS 209 2 A 10 GNS 202 2 C 6
23 92 24 98

GPA = 92 = 4 GPA = 88 = 3.667

23 24

CGPA = GPA = 4 CGPA = 92 + 88 = 180 = 3.89

23 + 24 47

18. GOODSTANDING, PROBATION AND WITHDRAWAL
