Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (BS MTH)

Learning outcomes

In successfully completing our major in Computer Science, a student should be able to:

  • Demonstrate a mastery of mathematics at the level that will allow them to be successful in a career that uses mathematics in technical and professional careers related to the field of business, industry or government
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the processes involved in creating a viable mathematical model and use mathematical models to solve practical problem
  • Demonstrate in-depth knowledge the fundamental analytical techniques and computational methods used in understand the behavior of systems (e.g. industrial, biological and environmental)
  • Communicate mathematical knowledge, understanding and apply technology tools to solve problems
  • Maintain a core of mathematical and technical knowledge that is adaptable to changing technologies and provides a solid foundation for future

Mathematics is one of the greatest unifying themes in our modern culture. It is a language, a science, an art, and a tool of tremendous power. Mathematics has found its way in all areas of our modern lives.

As the US National Council of Teachers of Mathematics puts it “In this changing world, those who understand and can do mathematics will have significantly enhanced opportunities and options for shaping their futures. Mathematical competence opens doors to productive futures.”

The B.S. degree program in mathematics seeks to introduce students to a vast body of mathematical knowledge and to show them how mathematics can be used to solve real life problems. Emphasis is therefore put on programming, modeling, reasoning and problem solving skills.

The BS in Mathematics prepares students for a variety of careers. Students obtain employment in the business, computers, research, insurance, securities, banking, government, education and statistics industries or can move to graduate studies.

Career prospects

The program prepares a student for careers in engineering, actuarial science, database and computer systems administration network and data communication analysis, statistical analysis, secondary mathematics teaching, graduate studies and other fields. In addition to immediate employment, there are opportunities for good students to pursue further study at the graduate level in mathematics, statistics, actuarial science, mathematical finance, engineering, physics and other fields.

Fatima Doumbia Koné is a Mathematics lecturer at the international University of
Grand-Bassam (IUGB). Among the courses she taught we have the following: Introduction to
Differential Equations, Elementary Statistics, Calculus(I,II,III), Transforms in Applied Math,
Introduction to Linear Algebra, Operations Research and Abstract Algebra.
She has a Bachelor degree in Mathematics (IUGB), a Master degree in Pure and Applied
Mathematics (AUST) and she is currently enrolled for a PhD in Mathematics at the African
University of Science and Tecnology (AUST), Abuja. She has also been an intern at the
Institutional Banking Group department within GTBANK CI (Garanty Trust Bank Côte
D’Ivoire).
She is a former IUGB student and she was the president of the science club in 2015.
Academically, her goal is to be a great researcher and innovator on the topics of asymptotic
theories in Fuzzy Probability Theory and their various applications to image processing. She
has good programming skills (JAVA, LaTeX, C++) and she is bilingual (French and English).
Over the years, she has been developing a method of teaching which not only put students at
the center of the learning process but also which deconstruct most of the stereotypes about the
inaccessibility of mathematical knowledge to everybody.
Regarding her research activities, she has been working since 2018 on the topic of integration
on Banach spaces and a preprint of an interesting work is available at
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.04480. She is continuing with her research on integration but now
her PhD studies focus on Random Sets Integration in Probability Theory. Professionally, she
is a very active lecturer at IUGB and she is currently the faculty advisor of the SHE CLUB,
which aims at promoting women empowerment by providing learning, leadership and
networking opportunities.

I am currently Associate Professor of computer and data science in the school of science technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) at the International University of Grand-Bassam (IUGB).
From 2000 to 2018, I successively worked as a research scientist at Independent Computing Research in Montreal, Quebec, Canada; Assistant Professor at the department of computer science and
engineering at Université Laval in Québec, Canada; Research Associate at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) where I also received a Ph.D. degree in computer science in March 2000. Upon receiving a master's degree in mathematical and computing science
from the Tokyo Institute of Technology (TIT) in 1990 in Japan, I worked as a research scientist at National/Panasonic, one of the most prestigious companies in Tokyo.
I am involved in research on Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Semantic Web and its applications in a wide range of fields. Besides, I designed the current Data Science program in effect
since September 2021 in STEM. In addition, I am also one the founders and current President of the
Ivorian Association of Artificial Intelligence and member of ORBICOM, the Network of UNESCO Chairs in Communication headquartered in University of Quebec in Montreal (UQUAM), Canada.
