The Mathematics Department at University of Petra was established in conjunction with the founding of the university in 1991. However, the department's activities were suspended in 2001. Recognizing the importance and necessity of mathematics, as well as the pressing need for its study at both local and regional levels, the university reopened the department in 2016. This was done to achieve two main objectives: supplying the job market with qualified personnel in mathematics and strengthening the mathematical and physical foundations required for scientific disciplines at the university. Accordingly, the department offers a bachelor's degree program in mathematics and provides essential mathematics and physics courses required for the majors in the faculties of Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Information Technology, and Pharmacy and Medical Sciences.
