■ What is Mathematics?

Mathematics may be defined as the study of quantity, structure, space, relation, change, and various topics of pattern, form, and entity. Moreover, mathematics enables one to explain the essence of nature itself and extrapolate by utilizing rigorous mathematical logic. Mathematics can be divided into several departments of study: algebra, which is based on the operations of numbers; analysis, which studies the properties of functions; topology, which is the study of the properties of spaces; and applied math, which is concerned with the application of mathematical knowledge to other fields. Today, mathematics is used as an essential tool in many fields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, and social sciences, such as economics and psychology.

■ Department of Mathematics at CNU

The major in Mathematics was established in 1952 with the founding of Chonnam National University. The principal goal of the major in Mathematics is to conduct high quality instruction and research in pure and applied mathematics.

The Department offers undergraduate and graduate studies leading to Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degrees.

The research fields of the Department include algebra, analysis, geometry, topology, applied mathematics, and mathematics education. In addition, the Department sponsors various groups of regular seminars for undergraduate students and colloquia for faculty members and graduate students.

■ What is Statistics?

Statistics is a broad mathematical discipline which studies ways to collect, summarize, and draw conclusions from data. It is applicable to a wide variety of academic disciplines, from physical and social sciences to the humanities, as well as to business, government, and industry.

Once data is collected, either through a formal sampling procedure or by recording responses to treatments in an experimental setting (experimental design), or by repeatedly observing a process over time (time series), graphical and numerical summaries may be obtained using descriptive statistics.

Patterns in the data are modeled to draw inferences about the larger population, using inferential statistics accounting for randomness, and uncertainty in the observations. These inferences may take the form of decision making (hypothesis testing), estimates of numerical characteristics (estimation), prediction of future observations, descriptions of association (correlation), or modeling of relationships (regression).

■ Major in Statistics

The major in Statistics was founded in 1990 and has made great developments. The Department currently has 9 professors, about 17 graduate students, and 230 undergraduate students. Balanced programs for students have been established so that they learn statistical theory, as well as practice analyzing data with various statistical computer packages. In order to support independent study, the Department provides two rooms exclusively for a Statistics Library and Computing Lab.

The Statistics Library is filled with numerous statistics and computer science books and relevant outstanding papers. The Computing Lab has computers with programs such as SAS, SPSS, S-PLUS, Minitab, MATLAB, and R. The Department has active research programs in statistical genetics, bio-informatics, Bayesian statistics, statistical computing, pattern recognition, and other topics.

	Geological Sciences	__Contact Information Phone: +82-62-530-3450 Fax: +82-62-530-3459 URL: http://geology.jnu.ac.kr

■ What is Geology?

Geology is the scientific study that aims to understand the origin, structure, physical, biological and chemical processes, and history of the Earth and its surface features using diverse scientific and engineering methods. The sustainable use of natural resources and the preservation of the Earth’s environment require a sound knowledge of geology and geological processes. In order to solve these problems, geologists study a broad range of issues such as the origin and genesis of rocks constituting the Earth, the structural process and evolutional history of the Earth, the exploration of Earth’s resources, and the mitigation of natural hazards. The studies of modern geology are not restricted to traditional topics because the origin, migration, and quality of ground-water, and soil contamination and remediation are also topics in geology. Therefore, geology is more of an applied science than a simple one, which requires basic knowledge of physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics.

Throughout history, geology has provided practical information for bettering our lives and is believed to play a key role in the development of a sustainable society that is in harmony with the Earth.

■ Department of Geology

The Department of Geology provides an outstanding environment for studies of the Earth and planetary processes, as revealed by their composition, structure, and history. The department seeks to understand the fundamental processes defining the origin, evolution, and current state of Earth systems and to use this understanding to predict future states to solve environmental problems. The department is composed of the following three major research areas:

1) Pure/Basic Geology: conducting broad investigations on Solid Earth: rocks, minerals, and fossils of past and present geological environments and predicting the future.

2) Applied Geology: geological and seismological studies of practical issues related with the geological stability of a critical structure, such as a nuclear power plant or nuclear waste disposal.

3) Environmental Geology: practical application of the principles of geology in solving environmental problems, such as soil and ground water contaminations and their remediation.

Specific research encompasses igneous/metamorphic petrology, economic mineral deposits, paleontology, sedimentary environments, environmental hydrogeology, biogeochemistry, geophysics computational  geodynamics and Earth materials science including classical mineralogy. The department’s programs include interdisciplinary research and teaching that bring the unique perspective of geology to scientific problems at diverse spatial and temporal scales. The department currently has 8 faculty members.

In recognition of the revolutionary changes in geology, the department recruited a new faculty member in a relatively new area: computational geodynamics studying the evolution of subduction and mantle convection using computational modeling. Currently, the department has 23 graduate students; 140 undergraduate students are majoring in geology.

The department’s programs offer courses leading to Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degrees in geology.

■ What is a Major in Oceanography?

The Department of Oceanography has 9 full-time faculty members and several part-time lecturers engaged in teaching and research at both postgraduate and undergraduate levels. The Department conducts interdisciplinary research in coastal marine environments, maintains advanced laboratories, seeks public and private research funds, and recruits and retains qualified faculty, staff, and students. It provides an effective learning environment for students who are interested in careers in marine science or related fields, and also for students who are interested in science-based management of contaminated and coastal environments impacted by human development. Faculty research interests range from the ecology of phytoplankton, macro-alga zooplankton and nekton to the biogeochemical cycle of elements and numerical modeling of coastal processes. Graduates from the Department of Oceanography hold many faculty positions in universities and colleges, as well as research positions in industry, private research institutions, national laboratories, and regulatory agencies.
