A Short History of the DepartmentIn 1986, when Bilkent University admitted its first students, the mathematics department was positioned as a unit within the Faculty of Engineering. Three years later, at the end of 1989, it was officially decided to reposition the Mathematics Department as an independent department to conduct high-level research on an international scale and train mathematicians capable of conducting such research. Initially, only the graduate program was launched. The first undergraduate students joined the department in 1991. The mission of the mathematics department was defined as providing the necessary undergraduate foundation for students who would pursue graduate or doctoral studies in applied or pure mathematics. As Bilkent's student population grew, the department reached the required number and variety of faculty members needed to fulfill this mission.
