The new building of NTU’s School of Physical & Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) was opened officially by Dr Ng Eng Hen, Minister for Education and Second Minister for Defence, Singapore, on 21 July 2009. A special feature of the Mathematical Sciences building is the well-placed interactive meeting spaces that are known to provide the best environment for learning and research by facilitating faculty-faculty, faculty-student, and student-student discussion on mathematics and statistics problems. Unlike traditional mathematics departments, we have incorporated modern laboratories and computing facilities to do cutting-edge teaching and research on modern multidisciplinary application areas in bioinformatics, biocomputing, finance, digital media, etc.
