Welcome to the Department of Mathematics. If you are interested in mathematics you are in the right place. As you browse through our site, you will find that we have many exciting things happening in our department. Keep in mind that mathematics related jobs, continue to be relevant and among the highest valued in terms of personal satisfaction as well as compensation.

Our faculties are dynamic and dedicated to providing a top quality undergraduate experience. They have a variety of interests including mathematical history, number theory, statistics, and applied mathematics. We have a flexible curriculum based on solid foundation courses as well as challenging upper-level courses such as modeling, statistical consulting, real analysis, and modern algebra. Our students are encouraged to put their own stamp on their undergraduate experience by participating in the Summer Research Program or Student Research Conference here at School of Arts and Science under University of VMRF, as well as attending or even presenting at a conference.

The Department has a Mathematics Learning Center that provides free peer assistance for most of our service mathematics courses. The center is staffed by our majors and is typically the hub of activity for groups to gather and study.

PROGRAMME LEARNING OUTCOMES

The Bachelor of Science with Mathematics (B.Sc. Mathematics) program enables students to accomplish, by the time of graduation:

PLO-A. 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 and statistics. Thus, this programme helps learners in building a solid foundation for higher studies in mathematics.
PLO-B. 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.
PLO-C. 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.
PLO-D. 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.
PLO-E. Completion of this programme will also enable the learners to join teaching profession in primary and secondary schools.
PLO-F. This programme will also help students to enhance their employability for government jobs, jobs in banking, insurance and investment sector and jobs in various other public and private enterprises.
PLO-G. Demonstrate fundamental systematic knowledge of mathematics and its applications in engineering, science, technology and mathematical sciences. It should also enhance the subject specific knowledge and help in creating jobs in various sectors.
PLO-H. demonstrate educational skills in areas of analysis, geometry, algebra, mechanics, differential equations etc.
PLO-I. Apply knowledge, understanding and skills to identify the difficult/unsolved problems in mathematics and to collect the required information in possible range of sources and try to analyse and evaluate these problems using appropriate methodologies.
PLO-J. Ability to communicate various concepts of mathematics effectively using examples and their geometrical visualizations.

Additional PLOs

The Bachelor of Science in with Mathematics (B.Sc. Mathematics) program enables students to achieve following additional features besides the above-mentioned attributes, by the time of graduation:

PLO-K. Ability to use mathematics as a precise language of communication in other branches of human knowledge.
PLO-L. Ability to communicate long standing unsolved problems in mathematics.
PLO-M. Ability to show the importance of mathematics as precursor to various scientific developments since the beginning of the civilization.
PLO-N. Ability to explain the development of mathematics in the civilizational context and its role as queen of all sciences.
