Such studies continued in the Osijek Pedagogy Academy established in 1961, since 1964 the Studies of Physics and Technology. This was further developed after the Faculty of Pedagogy had been established in 1977, to be renamed in 1989 Studies of Physics and Polythechnics.

The Division of Applied Mathematics was established in 1993, and in 1999 the current Department was the first integrated University Department in Croatia.

The Department uses several emblems that seem to be part of the same set, the main one consisting of the blue drawing of a hanging bridge with a stylized sun spiral over it. Some derived emblems use the sun as the initial "O" (for odjel) and the "chain" of the brigde as the initial "M" (for Matematiku) with the full Department's name inscribed.
