Topics covered include algebraic structures, groups, rings, polynomials and number theory, vector space, and algebra.
The move to online and hybrid teaching and learning environment offers faculties and students from all participating universities an opportunity to collaborate, experiment, analyze, and discuss mathematical problems together.
The lecture series taught by Prof Dr Isamiddin Rakhimov is a hybrid experience for the faculties and students from UiTM, the National University of Uzbekistan (NUUz), and Samarkand State University (SamsU) Uzbekistan.
FSKM, UiTM hosted the first lecture in one of the Global Learning Spaces on February 25, 2021 (5.00 pm, Malaysian time). It was joined virtually by participants from other local universities and UiTM campuses nationwide. Lectures were streamed live via the Cisco Webex application and the Centre for Mathematics Studies, UiTM Youtube account.
The hosting of the hybrid synchronous series embarks a significant faculty’s role in education innovation delivery to be experienced by more students and lecturers in the future. It also offers the students and staff the taste of international exposure and strengthening our global engagement through knowledge sharing.
Prof Dr Isamiddin Rakhimov who led this lecture series is a mathematics professor at FSKM, UiTM, since October 2019, with research interests in pure mathematics. With his presence, FSKM has successfully co-organized the International Uzbekistan-Malaysia Conference on Computational Models and Technologies (CMT2020) with the National University of Uzbekistan (NUUz) and several universities from Uzbekistan.
He also contributed to the recent MoUs with the National University of Uzbekistan (NUUz) and Samarkand State University (SamSU), Uzbekistan. Various organizations have awarded him for his achievements, such as the Lifetime Professor Award by the Supreme Attestation Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Excellent teaching (Faculty of Sciences), and Outstanding Scientist Award (INSPEM) by Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).
