Dr. M.I.M. Ishak
Head, Department of Engineering Mathematics, Faculty of Engineering. University of Peradeniya.
Welcome
to the Department of Engineering Mathematics !
We take immense pride in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Peradeniya for establishing the Department of Engineering Mathematics in 1965 under the visionary leadership of Prof. E.F. Bartholomeusz. It is a privilege that many engineering students around the world do not always have the opportunity to experience this richly designed department.
Our main goal is to convey the art of mathematics to engineering undergraduates, equipping you with the essential tools needed to successfully pursue your bachelor’s degree and beyond. As the universal language of science and engineering, mathematics plays a critical role in analyzing complex problems, innovating solutions, and driving progress across various fields.
We are committed to fostering an environment of curiosity, critical thinking, and collaboration. Through our department, you'll discover a wealth of resources, from course materials and faculty profiles to research opportunities and student projects, all designed to support your learning journey. Stay tuned for upcoming events that will enrich your academic experience.
I encourage you to actively explore these resources, engage with your peers and instructors, and view mathematics not just as formulas, but as a powerful tool for discovering patterns, solving real-world challenges, and expanding the boundaries of knowledge.
Once again, welcome! I look forward to witnessing the remarkable achievements we will accomplish together.
About us
The Department of Engineering Mathematics at the University of Peradeniya was established in 1965 under the visionary leadership of Prof. E.F. Bartholemuez. His dedication to fostering junior staff, advocating for improved academic facilities, and his genuine concern for students played a pivotal role in shaping the department into what it is today.
Our core mission is to equip engineering undergraduates with the mathematical knowledge and analytical skills essential for their degree and future careers. Engineering Mathematics is a compulsory subject for all engineering students during their first three years, with an option to continue into the fourth year. We are proud of our strong and evolving undergraduate teaching programme, which continues to be reviewed and enhanced to meet the growing demands of engineering education.
