Finally I have collected my PhD notification of result.
I went from my state Akwa Ibom to Sokoto and throughout my stay, I was not descriminated against.
In fact the Hausa people were very good to me, from my neighbors in my area to the lecturers in the school I did my PhD.
I spent a lot of time in research and I have learnt a lot both in pure and applied mathematics.
Finally, I have been awarded with a PhD in Mathematics. Congratulations Dr... Wanna ask this curious question... at the stage you are right now.. is dere any math or statistics questions that is unsolvable for you? ... Just curious... just wanna know if is possible to know all 1 Like |

Why you no go UNN, UNILAG, UNIPORT, FUTMINNA  If I decide to get my PhD, it will be in either University of Lagos or University of Ibadan. |

I thank everyone here who has congratulated me.
I could have replied to each congratulatory message and question. But I am busy now.
All I can say is that I am very grateful to you all.
Remain blessed. |

Why you no go UNN, UNILAG, UNIPORT, FUTMINNA UDUS also has one of the best lecturers. There are many professors in every department. There is no department that doesn't have many professors. It was one of the first universities established in 1975 and since then it has undergone tremendous improvement. |

So even at PhD level, Usman Dan Fodio University has no option in mathematics? People are still awarded with a degree such as this? What happened to PhD in mathematical modeling, PhD in applied mathematics and so on? The idea is that if you study let's say medical mathematics or financial mathematics, you are limited to a specific area of mathematics. A person who studies medical mathematics may not be employed in a financial institution and a person who studies financial mathematics may not be employed in a hospital. But if you study mathematics, it is all encompassing. You can decide to start a research in the field of medical mathematics, publish your discoveries in reputable journals and you can work in a hospital. I know a PhD holder in mathematics who is both a lecturer and also works in a hospital because he is into the application of soft sets in medicine. Had it been he studied medical mathematics, he may not be allowed to lecture in the field of pure mathematics. But he may have chance to work in a hospital. The same thing goes for someone who studies financial mathematics, applied mathematics, fluid dynamics etc. It's better for your certificate to show that you study mathematics while you then have options of specializing in any area you deem lucrative, than for your certificate to narrow you down to a specific area. The central idea is that if you have a PhD, try to do research in different areas of your course and publish journals. |

Congratulations Dr...
Wanna ask this curious question... at the stage you are right now.. is dere any math or statistics questions that is unsolvable for you? ...
Just curious... just wanna know if is possible to know all If a question proves difficult to solve, I can easily research and get the answer. Not all answers are handy. This is because the field of mathematics and statistics is very wide and there are many complex questions in many areas such as fluid dynamics. But a PhD holder should be able to get answers to questions by reading and research. At that level, you can easily understand when you go through the methods of solving any question even if the question proves hard and complex to other people. 1 Like |

Have you heard of PhD in English just plain English no specialty? PhD does not have specialty written on the certificate. Many people both home and abroad have PhDs in Chemistry, Physics, English, Electrical engineering, etc. The same courses that they graduated as Bachelor degree holders. But in the case of a PhD, if you have a PhD in let's say physics, you must have a specialty which can only be written in your transcript, but it's not written on your certificate in most universities. You can work on fluid dynamics, do research and finally defend your thesis in fluid dynamics which is under applied Mathematics. That will be your specialty. The specialty will be written in your transcript. But on your certificate, it will be written PhD in Mathematics. My friend specializes in Bio Mathematics (which is the area he did his research and defended his thesis) but his certificate from uniben carries PhD Mathematics instead of PhD in Bio Mathematics. Only in his transcript is it written that he specializes in Bio Mathematics. It's better that way because people can switch specialty by starting a research in other areas like financial Mathematics, publish journals and become a specialist in financial Mathematics. If your certificate carries medical Mathematics, it has limited you. What if you decide to major in financial Mathematics after some years, people will not really believe you because your certificate is reading medical Mathematics while you are claiming to be a specialist in financial Mathematics. 1 Like |

But Msc has specialty. I have an Msc and currently running my PhD, I don't think it applies in all schools. My major I ecology. I have never seen anybody with a PhD in Biology. Never heard of it. Never heard of it in Chemistry or Physics.
