Overview (Physics)
The Bachelor’s degree in B.Sc (Physics-Mathematics) facilitates the students to study two key disciplines of science, i.e., Mathematics and Physics, in depth-covering a broad range of topics in both, as comprehending high-level physics requires a strong mathematical foundation. Mathematical models are developed to explain our observations of the physical world.
The Bachelor’s Degree in B.Sc is awarded to the students on the basis of knowledge, understanding skills, attitudes, values and academic achievements sought to be acquired by learners at the end of this program. Hence, the learning outcomes of Physics and mathematics for this course are aimed at facilitating the learners to acquire these attributes, keeping in view of their preferences and aspirations for knowledge of these subjects. Physics is used to help us answer some of the important questions which arise in the world around us. Once we understand the processes involved in these problems, we need to translate our ideas into mathematics to find the solutions.
This programme helps learners in building a solid foundation for higher studies in mathematics and Physics which also leads to proficiency in analytical reasoning. This can be utilised in modelling and solving real life problems. Bachelor’s degree in mathematics is the culmination of in-depth knowledge of algebra, calculus, geometry, differential equations and several other branches of mathematics. This also leads to study of related areas like computer science, financial mathematics, statistics and many more. Similarly physics is the study of optics, magnetism, astrophysics, nuclear physics, thermodynamics etc. Thus they also share ideas and insights while seeking and benefitting from knowledge and insight of other subjects.
Overview (Mathematics)
The Bachelor’s Degree in B.Sc. Mathematics is awarded to the students on the basis of knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes, values and academic achievements sought to be acquired by learners at the end of this program. Hence, the learning outcomes of mathematics for this course are aimed at facilitating the learners to acquire these attributes, keeping in view of their preferences and aspirations for knowledge of mathematics. Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space and change. It has very broad scope in science, engineering and social sciences.
Bachelor’s degree in mathematics is the culmination of in-depth knowledge of algebra, calculus, geometry, differential equations and several other branches of mathematics. This also leads to study of related areas like computer science, Financial Mathematics, statistics and many more. Thus, this programme helps learners in building a solid foundation for higher studies in mathematics. The skills and knowledge gained has intrinsic beauty, which also leads to proficiency in analytical reasoning. This can be utilised in modelling and solving real life problems. Students undergoing this programme learn to logically question assertions, to recognise patterns and to distinguish between essential and irrelevant aspects of problems. They also share ideas and insights while seeking and benefitting from knowledge and insight of others. This helps them to learn behave responsibly in a rapidly changing interdependent society. Students completing this programme will be able to present mathematics clearly and precisely, make vague ideas precise by formulating them in the language of mathematics, describe mathematical ideas from multiple perspectives and explain fundamental concepts of mathematics to non-mathematicians. Completion of this programme will also enable the learners to join teaching profession in primary and secondary schools. This programme will also help students to enhance their employability for government jobs, jobs in banking, insurance and investment sectors, data analyst jobs and jobs in various other public and private enterprises.
