About Department

The Department of Mathematics was established in the year 1949 and upgraded as a postgraduate department in 1959. Adding feathers to its crown of academic and research excellence the department was recognized as a research centre by Madurai Kamaraj University in the year 2012. The Department launched the M.Phil. Mathematics (Self-Financed) programme in 2010, followed by the B.Sc. Mathematics (Self-Financed) programme in 2015 and the M.Sc. Mathematics (Self-Financed) programme in 2017, underscoring its sustained commitment to broadening access to high-quality mathematical education.  

 

Based on the mantra of Education "Teaching & Learning - Research - Extension" the department has undertaken many research projects funded by DRDL, CSIR, UGC and MHRD. The department was a DST-FIST sponsored department (2012-2017). Now the department is equipped with the state of art infrastructures like rich collection of books, Mathematica network license, Lingo (Linear and Non linear) software, Systat statistical package and well equipped computer laboratory with 700 mbps network connectivity.

 

The Department of Mathematics comprises highly qualified and dedicated faculty members with expertise in diverse areas, including Graph Theory, Analysis, Algorithmic Graph Theory, Differential Equations, and Topology. Apart from putting in constant sincere efforts to help the students, teachers are constantly engaged in research activities and updating themselves on recent developments. The department also aims to train people who are oriented towards research and teaching in advanced areas of pure and applied Mathematics. The department conducts specialized coaching classes for SET/NET examinations for postgraduate students. The Department also offers remedial classes for the slow learners.
