Department of Mathematics
Department Overview
About the department
The department was established as an allied department in the year 1988 when the college was started. Mathematics and Statistics are taught as allied courses in the Department of Computer Science and Applications, Information Technology, Cyber Security, Software Systems, Electronics, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Commerce, Psychology and Management. The department has sound infrastructural facilities in addition to a highly qualified and motivated team of faculty members. The department organizes seminars regularly and various value-added programs for the holistic development of the students.
The department of Mathematics was elevated to the status of a Major department in 2002. Starting with B.Sc. Mathematics in the same year, the department successfully introduced a PG programme in Mathematics in 2004, Research Programme (M. Phil) in 2006 and Ph.D in 2023. It provides a strong foundation in the basics of Mathematics and motivates them towards specializations for research activities in an inter disciplinary nature. It was successful in guiding more than 100 candidates for M. Phil degree. Five faculty members are doctorate holders and the other faculty members are pursuing for their Ph.D. degree and Four faculty members are SET qualified .Faculty members are engaged in the research field of Topology, Graph theory, Operations research and Fuzzy sets. The department has to its credit a number of rank holders and CSIR/NET qualified scholars. The main objective of the department is to introduce the curriculum with the latest developments and to promote in depth knowledge in Research. Our alumni are eagerly sought after in Arts & Science Colleges, Engineering Colleges as well as Research Institutions in India and abroad. Banking, IT and Software Programming also offer fertile fields to our students to display their talents.

Programme Overview
B.Sc Mathematics
The aim of the course is to develop Mathematical skills among the students and make them expert Mathematicians. Mathematics subjects are always studied in combinations at the Bachelor level. The course trains the students with in-depth knowledge of Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus and other theories. The course also explores related topics like Computer Science and Statistics.The course emphasizes the theory and practical aspects of the Fundamentals of Mathematics and includes theory and concepts of counting, structure, probability, permutations and Combinations, Calculations, Measurement, the study of shapes and Motions. The students will have diverse knowledge about the multiple branches of Mathematics including Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Geometry and Accountancy. Problem Solving, Critical Thinking, Analytical Thinking and Logical Skills are enhanced through this course. This subject has multiple opportunities in Research and Technology. After completing B.Sc Mathematics, the students can join to Master’s degree in Mathematics. After completing their Master’s degree they can go for further research programmes like Ph.D in Mathematics. Pursuing advanced courses will help students to build a career in Teaching and Research. The students can join MBA, PGDM, PG Diploma in Banking, Actuarial Science courses, IIT, NIT etc.
M.Sc Mathematics
MSc Mathematics is a 2 year postgraduate course in Mathematics dealing with providing in-depth of geometry, algebra, calculus, number theory, dynamical systems, differential equations and prepare them for various research activities. It deals with the advanced concepts of Mathematics and incorporates mathematical thinking in the minds of the students. Students can get a chance in the financial sector and the government sector. They will be the best for the work profile of analytic science consultant, actuarial analyst, database manager, external auditor, data analyst, customer coordinator, credit analyst, Aptitude Trainer and quantitative risk analyst. Students can choose the teaching field and become a professor in government and private college,
