Qualification Requirements and Rules
In order to obtain a bachelor's degree in Mathematics, students must successfully complete all compulsory and elective courses that they must take in the program and obtain a weighted grade point average of at least 2.00 out of 4.00.
Program Profile
There are six main branches within the department: Analysis and Theory of Functions, Algebra and Number Theory, Geometry, Fundamentals of Mathematics and Mathematical Logic, Topology and Applied Mathematics. The aim of our Mathematics department is; to raise individuals who have acquired basic knowledge, methods and skills related to advanced theoretical and applied Mathematics education, can examine concepts and ideas in the field of mathematics with scientific methods, can interpret data, can approach problems with mathematical thinking skills and produce logical solutions, can develop analytical thinking skills and mental creativity, can use computer software and information and communication technologies in line with the requirements of mathematical science, have knowledge of a foreign language at the required level for the branch of mathematics, have ethical values, can conduct original and independent research and present their work effectively, are compatible with teamwork, have the ability to determine learning needs and direct their learning, and have adopted the necessity of lifelong learning.
Program Educational Objectives
1 To provide basic knowledge, methods and skills related to advanced theoretical and applied Mathematics education.
2 To raise individuals who can examine concepts and ideas in the field of mathematics with scientific methods, can interpret data, can approach problems with mathematical thinking skills and produce logical solutions.
3 To provide the ability to develop analytical thinking skills and mental creativity.
4 To provide skills to use computer software and information and communication technologies in line with the requirements of mathematics.
5 To train individuals who have the necessary level of foreign language knowledge for the field of mathematics.
6 To train scientists who have ethical values, who can conduct original and independent research and present their work effectively, and who are compatible with teamwork.
7 To raise individuals who have the ability to determine their learning needs and direct their learning, and who have adopted the necessity of lifelong learning.
Employment Profiles of Graduates (with examples)
One of the most important fields of work for graduates is academics. Graduates who complete their master's and doctorate degrees can work as assistant professors, associate professors, professors at universities and become faculty members. There is also the opportunity to benefit from scholarships from institutions such as MEB, YÖK, TÜBİTAK and do a master's or doctorate abroad. In addition, they can receive formation training and work as a mathematics teacher in schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education. They can work as financial consultants in TÜBİTAK, Aselsan, Ttnet, Telekom, Undersecretariat of Treasury and banks, and as analysts in most banks and private institutions. Since mathematics education provides the basic knowledge and skills required to work in the field of computers, they can work as system analysts, system operators, software specialists, etc. in the information processing centers of various public and private institutions. They can join the IT sector and do programming through a master's degree, additional courses or courses on computers. There are also job opportunities such as accountant positions in the Ministry of Finance, analyst or programmer positions in ministries.
Transition to Advanced Programs
Students who successfully complete their undergraduate education can study in postgraduate programs provided that they receive a passing score in the ALES exam and have sufficient knowledge of the English language.
Exams, Measurement and Evaluation
Each student must register for classes at the beginning of the semester and must attend at least 70% of the classes and 80% of the practices in order to take the end-of-term exam. Exams are evaluated out of 100 points. The midterm and mid-term/year end-of-year exam results of a course are shown as a numerical score. The score of the exams that the student does not take is zero. The midterm exam score average is the weighted average of the scores the student received in the midterm exams. The decimal number to be found in this way; If it is 0.5 and above, it is rounded up, and if it is below 0.5, it is rounded down. The raw success score of a course is calculated by taking into account the weighted average of the grades received from the midterm exams, practical exams, and other activities related to education and training during the semester/year, if any, and the final or make-up grade, if any. The raw success score contribution percentages of the course are determined by the instructor of the relevant course at the beginning of the semester and announced to the students by entering them into the student information system within the first two weeks of the relevant semester/year courses at the latest. However, the contribution of the midterm/year evaluations to the success grade cannot be less than 30% or more than 60%; the contribution of the midterm/year evaluations to the success grade cannot be less than 40% or more than 70%. In applied or special assessment courses where only the midterm/year end exam is given, the contribution of the midterm/year end exam to the success grade is 100%. The student's course success is determined by the instructor giving the course with one of the letter grades, considering the general success level of all students taking that course, the arithmetic averages and statistical distributions of the student's raw success score. In order to pass a course, the success grade must be at least DD or above. AA, AB, BA, BB, BC, CB and CC grades are unconditional passing grades. CD, DC and DD grades are conditional passing grades. In order for a student to pass a course in which they receive a CD, DC or DD grade, their general grade point average must be at least 2.00.
Graduation Requirements
The undergraduate program is 4 years (8 semesters). In order to graduate, students must take and pass courses worth at least 30 ECTS credits each semester (at least 240 ECTS credits in total). At least 14 of these courses (64 ECTS) are elective courses. Students who complete this process and achieve a weighted grade point average of at least 2.0 out of 4.00 are eligible to receive a bachelor's degree.
