Overview

About the Department

An introduction to our history, our teaching philosophy, and the scholarly tradition we work within.

Galilei once said, “If I were beginning my studies, I would follow the advice of Plato and start with mathematics.” With an aim to disseminate mathematical knowledge with ethical values, the Department of Mathematics of our prestigious college was established in 1966 and was upgraded to execute the postgraduate degree programme in 2006.

At the undergraduate level, mathematics is taught as an elective subject to B.Sc. (Hons.) and BCA I, II, III students, and is opted for by students of B.A. I, II, III. It is also offered as MDC, SEC and VAC. Diverse scientific disciplines include various courses in mathematics in their academic curriculum, such as Mathematics in B.Sc. Biotechnology (Honours). The postgraduate degree programme in mathematics is designed to impart mathematical training across at least twenty rigorous courses.

Effective teaching-learning techniques are adopted by a well-qualified, disciplined and dedicated staff of six faculty members, who prepare students to compete for national-level examinations such as CSIR-JRF-UGC-NET, IIT-JAM, NBHM and GATE. The Department also encourages student participation in national-level mathematics training programmes such as MTTS run at its different levels.
