ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

Mathematics is considered as a broad area of knowledge rather than a standalone subject. It incorporates the study of numbers, formulas, shapes, spaces and quantities as well as the changes they undergo. Modern mathematics includes number theory, algebra, geometry and analysis.

Mathematicians use succession of applications of deductive rules to prove theorems, formulas and number-based problems. Mathematics finds its applications in the areas of natural sciences, engineering, finance, computer science and social sciences. The areas of statistics and game theory come under applied mathematics.

In the three-year Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (Honours) programme offered by the Department of Applied Science & Humanities, the students are taught a multidisciplinary curriculum that includes the study of physics, chemistry, computers, environment and ecology along with the core mathematics principles and derivative theories. The syllabus includes the modules of matrix and calculus, mechanics, optics, analytical geometry, waves and oscillations, semiconductor physics, operations research, number theory, metrics space, discrete mathematics, etc.

The theory is supported by extensive lab work in organic chemistry, physics, tensor and differential geometry. Research work is an important part of this programme, as are projects that utilise mathematics for the development of socially useful applications when combined with computer science, environment and geophysical studies. Students are also exposed to talk series by mathematicians, professors and industry veterans.
