Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'mathematics' (the subject) + 'department' (an organizational unit), i.e. the department responsible for mathematics. This noun-noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern (department/group of X) and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Mathematics department shows a simple picture: the word department means a part of a university and mathematics is the subject of numbers and shapes. So the phrase means the part of the university for 'teaching and studying mathematics'.
