The department of Mathematics was established in 1971. Bachelor of Science with Mathematics as the main subject and Physics and Statistics as the subsidiaries was started in the year 1971.There were only 9 students and 4 staff members. The first batch of students was sent up for the University examination in 1974. Prof. A. V. Moideenkutty was the Head of the Department. In the year 1995 M.Sc. Mathematics was introduced in the college and the department was upgraded to post graduate department of Mathematics.

Insight about the course

Mathematics is acknowledged as the language of science. The mathematical sciences identify structures and study their relationships. They formulate powerful abstract, concepts and models that unify, clarify and predict phenomena in science and technology. The ability to detect similar structures and to derive results that are applicable across different sciences represents an enormous strength.

Vision and Mission

The department should have a strong and visible activity within key application areas, and initiate and participate in interdisciplinary environments where methodological research in collaboration with relevant groups can act as a mutual source of inspiration. This department is also responsible for basic education in mathematical sciences for the rest of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The department strives to provide high quality undergraduate and provisional programs of study which attract the best students, to attend to the mathematical needs of the university and community. Our vision and mission derive their strength from a friendly and interesting environment for research and learning.
