Goals

To assure national recognition by specializing as a research hub (resource centre) for the discipline of mathematical sciences in Malaysia.

Objectives

1. To engage mathematicians and researchers from various disciplines in tackling fundamental problems that requiring significant mathematical inputs.
2. To provide a platform for researchers to interact on the research related to the emerging areas of mathematics as well as their applications.
3. To provide consultancy in the relevant areas of mathematical sciences.
4. To train young mathematicians to carry out impactful research especially for multidisciplinary projects.

Preface

Mathematical sciences play a vital role in driving the future development of the world, from numerous aspects, including economy, societal and environmental perspectives. In line with the targeted goal of the Centre for Mathematical Sciences (CMS) to assure research excellence, the members always work hard, hand-in-hand, in research publication and postgraduate supervision. To date, CMS has 52 active members (including ordinary and associate members) and the research area of the CMS members include Statistics and Data Science, Financial Mathematics, Operations Research and Discrete Mathematics. Besides, the members involve actively in the multi-disciplinary projects as well as joint-publications, by forming a close collaborative linkage with external collaborators. Additionally, some members provide professional consultancy and scientific training, with the ultimate goal to ensure that the knowledge of mathematical sciences and the required skills remain useful, practical and relevant at all times.

With the efforts and continuous support of the members, I believe that CMS will be able to contribute theoretically and practically (especially to the industry and society), ultimately leading to national and international recognition. With this, CMS would like to thank those who have contributed towards the growth of CMS. Your great support is highly appreciated and future collaborations are always welcome. Looking forward to your participation. Thank you.
