By teaching the basic courses in mathematics and statistics, the department shoulders substantial responsibility for the quality of education for all engineering students at NTNU.
The department has been instrumental in promoting the development of NTNU's program for training of science teachers, and works actively to strengthen the recruitment of students for the sciences and technology programs.
The teaching staff is engaged in research covering a wide spectrum of subjects within mathematics, numerics and statistics, often with connections to the natural sciences and technological applications. We offer a broad range of courses.
