The Rehabilitation and Employment Unit, in cooperation with the Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science at the College of Science for Women, University of Baghdad, organized a scientific lecture entitled “The Mathematical Dimensions in the Thought and Theories of the Iraqi Scholar Abd al-Sahib Al-Mukhtar.” The lecture was attended by a number of faculty members and students from various scientific departments.
The college welcomed the guests of the workshop in the presence of the Assistant Dean for Scientific Affairs, Dr. Nadia Mohammed Jawad, and the Assistant Dean for Administrative Affairs, Dr. Salah Khairy Jaber, reflecting the college administration’s clear commitment to supporting scientific and cultural activities and strengthening academic communication.

The workshop was presented by Prof. Dr. Mohammed Zaki Hussein Al-Faez and Counselor Adel Abd al-Sahib Al-Mukhtar. They reviewed the mathematical dimensions in the thought of the scholar Abd al-Sahib Al-Mukhtar, with a particular focus on the theory of the unit circle and set theory. They also highlighted his distinction in integrating mathematics with poetry as a unique intellectual approach through which he employed poetic language to simplify mathematical concepts and endow them with aesthetic and humanistic dimensions, reflecting the depth of his vision and his cognitive integration between science and literature.
The workshop also addressed the scientific and intellectual biography of the Iraqi scholar Abd al-Sahib Al-Mukhtar, who was born in Baghdad in 1923 and served as a legal advisor at the State Consultative Council. He was distinguished by a rich academic career of study and research inside and outside Iraq. His studies included land registration in the United States of America and public administration at the American University in Washington, in addition to comparative jurisprudence and human rights at Boston University and Howard University in 1966. He was also awarded a scientific fellowship to the Arab Republic of Egypt to study human rights in judicial legislation. Moreover, he received numerous letters of appreciation and honors from Arab and international institutions in Paris and Geneva, alongside the wide attention his intellectual achievements received from local, Arab, and foreign newspapers.
The workshop witnessed the donation of a copy of one of the late scholar Abd al-Sahib Al-Mukhtar’s publications to the Library of the College of Science for Women, contributing to enriching the library with scientific and intellectual resources and preserving his scholarly legacy.
The workshop concluded with fruitful scientific interaction from faculty members and students, who emphasized the importance of such scientific activities in enriching the academic environment and promoting a culture of research and inquiry within the university.
