The Basic Sciences department prepares students to develop their skills in mathematics and physics through the courses of Functional Math and Functional Physics. In coordination with the various academic departments throughout the university, the department meets the needs of students by continually reviewing the skills and concepts required for them to be successful in more advanced courses and academic specializations.Thus, a new curriculum for Functional Mathematics was developed by a committee consisting of faculty from across the academic departments. The new curriculum will be initiated at the beginning of the 2021/2022 academic year; and, the department is completing the same exercise for Functional Physics. Basic Sciences organizes and participates in a number of competitions in mathematics and physics at both the local and international levels, in order to provide the greatest possible opportunity to expose HTU students to exchange experiences with their peers in the Arab world and around the globe.
