About us

The Department of Mathematical Sciences is a national centre for teaching and research in mathematics and statistics. The faculty 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 teach the basic courses in mathematics and statistics for all engineering students at NTNU,
  • are instrumental in promoting the development of NTNU's program for training of science teachers,
  • works actively to strengthen the recruitment of students for the sciences and technology programmes.

Key figures

The department offers about 150 courses in mathematics and statistics, spanning two campuses (Gløshaugen and Gjøvik) and many research groups. We number over 220 people in total, counting 86 faculty staff, 92 PhD students, 33 postdocs, and 16 technical and administrative staff.

IMF is involved in 8 programmes of study: preparatory course for engineering studies and preparatory course in natural science; 1-year programme, bachelors programme (3 years), masters programme (2 years) and PhD in mathematical sciences (3 years), masters programme in industrial mathematics (5 years), and natural science with teacher education (5 years).

The faculty staff are divided into five organisational units:

  • Algebra & topology
  • Analysis & didactics
  • Differential equations and numerical analysis
  • Preparatory course & basic education
  • Statistics
