The history of the founding of the Department of Mathematics is linked to the date of the founding of the College of Arts and Sciences in 1949 (it was called the Department of Mathematics and Physics). It was a small department, the number of students in the first batch was only six students. In the academic year 1952-1953, the department became somewhat independent and was headed by Dr. Helmy Samara. The number of students reached There are only six faculty members. Pursuant to University Law No. 28 of 1958, a stand-alone college was formed from the scientific departments of the College of Arts and Sciences under the name “College of Sciences” and was annexed to the university with the rest of the colleges that existed at that time. Teaching in the departments of the College of Science was in the English language and continued to do so until 1972, when the curricula began to be Arabized, and then a decision was issued to teach only one subject in the English language in each of the four years of study. This in turn led to the student moving away from the library, as most of the sources were books. Periodicals were in English. As for postgraduate students in our department, the language of instruction remains in English, and students must write their dissertations in Arabic, except in cases of extreme necessity. The college returned two years ago to using the English language for teaching in primary and graduate studies and in its various departments. The department’s teachers have made great efforts to develop and advance the department despite their small number compared to the number of teachers in other departments. In addition, most of the subjects they teach are theoretical, and they have contributed almost completely to teaching mathematics topics for other departments in the college. The department is also proud that, in the last ten years, it has been able to graduate a significant number of doctoral holders who are currently teaching and supervising there. Eleven of the teaching staff who hold doctorates now have completed their master’s and doctoral studies in the department, and five others have completed their master’s degrees in the department and obtained their doctorates from outside Iraq. Also, fifteen out of a total of eighteen assistant teachers who are currently on staff in the department have obtained a master’s degree from the same department. Last but not least, the department owes thanks and gratitude to all who contributed to assuming the responsibility of heading the department and to all who contributed to teaching and supervising its students since its founding and until now. The department will remain, God willing, in continuous development, and from God we derive help and success.
