Overview
The Department of Mathematics started with a humble beginning in the year 1968 with one combination at the undergraduate level with Mathematics as one of the major subjects and a single faculty member. It has grown into six combinations in undergraduate level with nine faculty members. The year 2009 marked a great leap in starting the postgraduate course in Mathematics with tracks in Applied, Pure and Computational Mathematics. The main objective of the Department is to sharpen the mathematical skills along with inculcating an aptitude for research in mathematics and thereby training the students to meet the challenges of the dynamic subject.
Vision
Towards holistic formation of youth, grounded in excellence and to create an academically sound environment that nurtures, motivates and inspires excellence in research and teaching in Mathematics along with concern for society.
Mission
To promote the realistic growth of women in all frontiers of life and empower them to be agents of liberative transformation and mathematical proficiency.
