Department of Mathematics

Mathematics is the study of structure and relationship. It is the most basic of all the sciences and also the one with the widest applications. Some study mathematics because it reveals the beauty of symmetric tilings and patterns, others study it because the code for the universe is written in math, or because it leads to the widest range of careers. The undergraduate mathematics major prepares students for graduate studies in mathematics, economics and theoretical physics as well as for careers in finance, banking and management. The courses cover advanced topics in Algebra, Topology, Analysis, Finance, Biology and Scientific Computing. Math majors have gone on to attend graduate programmes at some of the best universities in the world and to careers at large multinationals. The MS Mathematics programme is a rigorous introduction to graduate-level mathematics of students wanting to strengthen their mathematical background prior to entering doctoral studies. The PhD degree in Mathematics is designed to impart high-quality education in Mathematical science. The doctoral programme enables PhD candidates to undertake independent research in the field of pure, applied and computational mathematics.

Science Stories

Prof. Steve Berry, friend of LUMS SSE and friend of Pakistan passed away peacefully in Chicago

Prof. Steve Berry's shyness, charm and humility came together with a solid grasp on chemical thermodynamics, potential landscapes and phase equilibria, some of the most complex phenomena in chemical physics. These potential landscapes steer the thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical and physical processes and also control whether a material forms a glass or a crystal or something in between, how a protein folds and unfolds and consequently how life emerges. Steve Berry, a distinguished Professor at the University of Chicago, had in his lifetime trained hundreds of scientists and generations of chemists in the nuances and intricacies of equilibrium and departures therefrom, the properties of the micro and the macro and where the twain shall meet, and how molecules tumble and collide to generate macromolecules and how they eventually disintegrate. Furthermore, his penchant to describe molecular statistics, thermodynamics and kinetics in a simple, meaningful and insightful manner always left deep impressions on his many listeners.

However, many wouldn't know that Prof. Steve Berry harbored a deep passion and commitment for the furtherance of science around the world. Who would know this any better than the people who saw the birth and growth of the School of Science and Engineering at LUMS, in Pakistan? Steve was among the founders and members of the Advisory Board and played a crucial role in inspiring the School's young Faculty, and especially the chemists. His regular visits to Pakistan and Lahore for participating in the School's advisory meetings not only gave many of us a chance to brush shoulders with him, but also to listen to his words of wisdom on science, education, leadership and also provided us with immense confidence in launching an interdisciplinary program of education where cross-pollination of ideas from diverse fields now routinely takes place.

Syed Babar Ali, the founder of the School, whom after the School is also named, expressed his condolences, "The School of Science and Engineering at LUMS will always remain extremely grateful to Steve Berry for his excellent contributions during the meetings of the Advisory Board that he attended. He was the founding member of the advisory board; and we will miss him. He was a great mentor, advisor and a friend of LUMS and SSE. May God bless his soul."

Steve Berry has left an indelible mark on our School. My thoughts and wishes, and the thoughts and wishes of all of my colleagues here at SBASSE LUMS, go to Steve's family, friends and our colleagues at the University of Chicago.

The Second 3-Minute Thesis Competition in Mathematics

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. Pi Day is an annual opportunity for math enthusiasts to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about math, and to eat pie.

The department of Mathematics LUMS, in collaboration with COMSATS university Islamabad and IBA Sukkur, is organizing the second "3-minute thesis competition (math)" on the 15th of March as part of the (approximate) Pi Day celebrations.

The competition is for research-based masters and doctoral students who are working in any area that involves math and / or its applications. The winners of the competition will be decided by the jury.

What it is about:

An 80,000-word thesis takes 9 hours to present. Can you present your thesis in 3 minutes, and that too with just 1 slide?
Competitors use one static slide to explain the breadth and significance of their graduate research to a non-specialist audience within 3 minutes.

Eligibility:

Masters’ or Doctoral students pursuing research in any area that involves math and/or its applications. Students from all over Pakistan are welcome.

Benefits:

It helps you develop communication and public speaking skills.
It enables you to communicate complicated research ideas in simple terms.
As mathematics frequently interact and work with non-mathematicians in industry, this competition will help you to communicate with a non-technical audience.
It will enhance your CV and the profile of your work.

Rules:

Only a single, static PowerPoint slide is permitted.
No slide transitions, animations or movement of any kind are allowed. The slide is to be presented from the beginning of the oration.
No additional electronic media (e.g., sound and video files) are permitted.
No additional props (e.g., costumes, musical instruments, laboratory equipment) are permitted.
Presentations are limited to a maximum of 3 minutes. Participants that exceed 3 minutes will be disqualified.
Presentations are to be in spoken word (i.e., no poems, raps or songs).

PARTICIPATION IS FREE OF COST

This is a virtual event and zoom link will be shared with registered participants.

For participation as a speaker or as an attendee, please fill this form: http://bit.ly/3bDpvSf

The registration link is http://bit.ly/3bDpv5f and the registration deadline has been extended to the 8th of March 2021.

Jointly organised by the Department of Mathematics, LUMS, COMSATS University, Islamabad and IBA Sukkur.
